— Women's Studies

Catalog description

This course aims to introduce the study of sexuality and gender. Questions such as "Is there a third gender?" "How are women represented in the media?" and "What is gender?" will be examined within a cross-cultural framework. This class will explore the experiences of women in the U.S and in other cultures. In order to engage critically with cross-cultural constructions of sexuality, gender and womanhood, we will examine both literary and artistic representations of gender (documentaries, films, visual art) throughout the semester.
