Course Description
Designed to lay the groundwork for the women’s and gender studies major and minor. Also appropriate for any student interested in pursuing the study of gender within their major field. With a U.S. focus, students may consider questions fundamental to the field: What is a woman? What is gender? What is sex? How does culture construct gender and gender difference? How do gender, race, class, ethnicity, and sexuality intersect and interact? Such questions prepare for further work in the field by introducing students to analytical and critical concepts and approaches for understanding the lives of women and the construction of gender within larger social, political, and cultural structures.
