Introduction to Gender Studies

Catalog description

This interdisciplinary course introduces students to foundational knowledge in gender studies, including the history of feminism, the development of women's studies, and fundamental feminist theories and research methodology. Also, the course takes an intersectional approach to studying those who have different sex and gender identities by looking at how sources of social power and privilege such as race, sexuality, and social class shape constructions of femininities and masculinities in everyday interactions and in social institutions.(Cross-listed with Soc 210)
