S-Gender and the Law

This class explores the socially constructed norms and frameworks enabling the legal regulation of gender. The course emphasizes on the United States but turns to international law to examine a number of areas of juridical areas such as equal protection, reproductive rights, the sex trade, work family issues, and sexual and domestic violence.

Comedy

Comedy is ambivalent: it can serve as a tool to challenge the status quo (for instance, in the form of satire) but it can also reinforce existing power structures (for example, by making fun of marginalized groups). In this course, we will reflect precisely on comedy?s socio-political significance, by focusing on categories such as class, gender, and race, as well as on non-Anglophone literary traditions. Course materials may include a wide range of genres and media (plays, short stories, films, and videos). (Gen. Ed. AL)
