(SA) Social Analysis (SS)Social Science (DM) Diversity & Multiculturalism

This course takes an interdisciplinary approach to the contemporary study of women and gender. Using theory and research, we examine such concepts as gender, intersectionality, sex, and feminist praxis. Within these four concepts, we will study the social production of gender and patriarchy; the norms of femininity and masculinity; race and racialized sexism; labor, motherhood, class, and poverty; consent and sexual violence; queer and trans theory; and contemporary feminist politics.
