WGST 1785 - Foundations in Women’s Studies


3 Credits


This course serves as an introduction to the field of women’s and gender studies. Using an interdisciplinary approach, the course examines the conditions and circumstances affecting the lives of (primarily) women in the United States. The course explores the roles that women play in society, with careful attention to the ideas and factors that shape those roles. Students will examine how ideas about gender (as well as race, ethnicity, social class, sexual orientation, physical ability and age) are informed by institutions, cultural beliefs, and social practices. Throughout the course, emphasis is placed on the diversity of women’s experience in contemporary United States and connections to women worldwide. 3C/3/0/0
