Dietrich College Grand Challenge Seminar: Gender: Contemporary Issues

Catalog description

In recognition of the ubiquity of gender in politics, this course fosters a constructive dialogue on several contemporary debates on issues of gender. These issues will be addressed from a multi-disciplinary perspective, in particular humanistic and social psychological approaches. Varied assessments are included in the course to encourage vigorous engagement with the material, including short paper, debate, journaling, poster, and oral presentation. Students will have opportunities to work collaboratively and individually on projects engaging topics such as intersectionality, single-sex education, reproductive justice, trans issues, and precarious masculinity.
