This class exposes students to the myriad ways in which gender differences structure our social relations, cultural values, institutions, and the production of knowledge. In so doing, this class examines women’s lives with a primary focus on how gender interacts with race, class, and sexual orientation. Through this course, students will examine the experiences, concerns, and creative production of women of different socioeconomic, racial, sexual, cultural, and national backgrounds in an effort to gain a more complete understanding of women’s lives in the United States and globally. We will also explore women’s ability to improve their lives by becoming agents of change through activism and social protest while examining the ways in which gender interacts with structures of power and oppression.
