WGSS 204 - Intro to Women’s Gender and Sexuality St

3 Hour(s)

An interdisciplinary course focusing on the extensive role of gender in human life that examines the ways in which gender structures power relations among individuals and within economic, political, educational and other social structures. Special attention is paid to women’s issues, histories, and movements in the United States and globally. Through readings drawn from the fields of women’s studies, gender studies, and sexuality studies, this course examines and explores alternatives to traditional and/or normative constructions of gender and sexuality, and also considers other markers of difference, such as disability, race, class, and religion, which intersect with gender identity and sexual identity.
