WGST 311 - Advanced Topics in Women’s and Gender Studies2-4 credits
An interdisciplinary course designed to lay the groundwork for the women’s and gender studies major and minor. Also appropriate as a first course for any student interested in pursuing the study of gender within their major field. This U.S. focused course considers questions fundamental to the field: What is a woman? What is gender? What is sex? How does culture construct gender and gender difference? How do gender, race, class, ethnicity, and sexuality intersect and interact?; the course, also, lays the groundwork for further work in the field by introducing students to analytical and critical concepts and approaches for understanding the lives of women and the construction of gender within larger social, political, and cultural structures; and it considers how we think about individual lives using these questions. Course may be repeated. Prerequisite: WGST 101 or permission of instructor. Offering to be determined.
