WGST 201 - Women’s and Gender Studies

3 Credits
3 lecture hours.

In this course students analyze the various experiences of women and alternative sexual identities and communities in contemporary society. Students will consider how gender relations may be changing, and interrogate the historical, social, political, economic, and cultural forces that shape lives relative to gender. Intersection frames the exploration of the course as students explore relations of inequality organized along lines of race, ethnicity, nationality, class, sexuality, ability, appearance, age, and other categories of difference in addition to gender.
