WGSS 2010 - Introduction to Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies

(3 credits)

Introduces this interdisciplinary academic field that has a triple focus: integrating information about women’s contributions to culture and history into the curriculum; uncovering and understanding structures of oppression (gender, sexuality, race, and class), and exploring possibilities for change. Topics for reading and discussion are drawn from material on social structures, law, language, history, religion, philosophy, the healing professions, and the arts. Articulating questions and points of view regarding issues related to gender and sexuality is emphasized.
