This course is an introduction to the study of men and masculinities. We will explore what it means to study masculinities from varying perspectives. In addition, we will utilize an intersectional approach to explore men's gender role socialization over the life span focused on men's developmental issues, gender role conflicts, and the impact of systems on the behavior and experiences of men and boys. Theory, research, and personal exploration are integrated through lectures, discussions, and learning activities.

This class examines perceived and existing links between economic development, women, and gender from various perspectives.

This graduate seminar in feminist theory constitutes a core course for students enrolled in the Graduate Certificate in Advanced Feminist Studies. The seminar will be organized around questions that emerge for feminisms from the rubrics of gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, transnationalism, human rights, economics and postcolonialism.
