(Cross-listed with Soc 205) Introduction to major areas of feminist thought (historical and contemporary) and gender analysis that have shaped the field of Women’s and Gender Studies. Course objectives focus on increasing students’ understandings of the social systemic factors (i.e., sociological factors) that influence the lived experience of individuals across the gender spectrum. Readings, research, small group discussions, and projects enable students to apply feminist theory concerning gender in an interdisciplinary context. This course serves as an introductory survey course for the women’s and gender studies minor and a topical exploration for sociology.
