GENDER BEHAVIOR

Catalog description

Open only to juniors and seniors.This course examines the "performance" of gender. Beginning with a look at the theoretical basis for the notion that some of our gendered behavior constitutes a performance, the course will explore aspects of movement, gesture, voice, and linguistics as learned gender-specific behavior. It will then go on to examine how gender behavior is sometimes stereotyped and sometimes challenged in public performance.Faculty: P. HENDRICK
