USGG 2006 - Women’s Gender and Sexuality Studies - Women in American History (0 Credit Hours)

Lecture Hours: 0 Lab Hours: 0
This is an introduction to the interdisciplinary field of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies. Throughout the course we will think about gender and sexuality aspects and expressions of power that structure the social world, produce knowledge, and construct “truths” about ourselves and others. We will explore intersections among oppressions, including sexism, racism, imperialism, homophobia, classism, and others. Gender as a form of power is always working in relation to sexuality, race, dis/ability, class, nationality, other identity markers,various institutions and structures. We will use interdisciplinary feminist methods in order to explore and analyze these issues. Our personal experiences will also be scrutinized and interrogated as interested narratives and truths. We will also discuss our various relationships to feminism and contemporary social movements.
