Introduction to Women’s Studies

Course number: WGST 0100

Course length: 45 hrs

Course credits: 3 credits

Course description:

This course is an introduction to the interdisciplinary field of women’s and gender studies. You will be introduced to theories of feminism, while exploring a variety of topics both historical and contemporary. Throughout the course, we examine how gender intersects with class, race, age, ability and sexuality to shape our lives in complicated ways. We will explore how gender operates as an analytical category in conjunction with other categories, and study how what we consider ‘normal’ and permanent about gender is culturally, socially, and historically produced.
