Study of Women and Gender 101 - SWG READS

The course offers a series of faculty dialogues about the ways that the Study of Women and Gender reads the world around us and the times we live in. How do we read gender through, and in conversation with, race, class and sexuality? How do we understand a text differently through the lenses of sociology, cultural studies or historiography? This course introduces students to "intersectionality," as a core concept and a distinctive methodology to read one text throughout the class. Graded S/U only.
