3 Credits
The course will introduce students to the interdisciplinary field of women, gender, and sexuality (WGSS) studies by exploring social and historical issues through a gender lens. Students will study scholarly essays and monographs in addition to primary texts to discern key questions, theories, and practices in WGSS. One of the primary objectives of the course is to instigate and develop independent, critical thinking about issues of gender, sexuality, and social action around gender and sexual inequity. Students will explore key roles that gender and sexuality play as both individual markers of identity and collective and systematic mechanisms of societies and cultures. In addition to studying historical and social issues to understand how women and men have acted as historical and social agents, how they have questioned their historical and social roles, and how they have contributed to historical and social change. In particular, we will consider how the intersectionality of class, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, ethnicity, nationality, and spirituality affect perceptions, experiences and socio-cultural practices.

WGST 115 - Gender, Representation, and Culture
3 Credits Crosslisted With: The course will introduce students to the interdisciplinary field of women, gender, and sexuality (WGSS) studies through a detailed exploration of cultural representations of gender. One of the primary objectives of the course is to instigate and develop independent, critical thinking about issues of gender and social action around gender inequity. We will explore key roles that gender plays as both individual marker of identity and collective structuring mechanism of our culture. Gender is a notion that confounds and confuses us, in no small part because it seems naturalized to our body types of male and female. However, we have a multiplicity of bodies and genders at work in the world even as we try and understand them within the standard discourses of male and female, masculine and feminine. To understand how gender works, we will study a series of written and visual texts that demonstrate the breadth and depth of gender issues in representation. But we will also examine how artists across genres create depictions of gender through formal and aesthetic strategies.
