HONORS INTRO TO GENDER AND SEXUALITY STUDIES

Catalog description

An exploration of the core concepts of gender, sexuality, and women's studies focusing on gender and sexuality as social constructs that impact social institutions, cultural practices and the lives of women, men, and non-binary people. Emphasis is on how differences of race, ethnicity, class, sexuality, ability, nationality, and age have historically defined and continue to define gendered experiences and identities. The Honors course is enhanced by a seminar format, more challenging reading assignments, more extensive writing assignments, and a smaller class size. Course may be taken for a letter grade only. Credit may be earned for GSS 10 or 10H, but not both.
