WGS 390 Gender Theory & Practice

This seminar-style course addresses key issues in gender theory and practice with an emphasis on intersectionality (race, class, gender, etc.) in local and global contexts. Two hours of course credit will integrate feminist and gender theory with each student’s disciplinary skills and expertise through reading, presentations, and portfolio. Portfolio will examine personal and professional applications of gender theory. One hour will be a student-defined project that can be individualized or collaborative, but will focus on addressing a specific gender issue in the community. Prerequisite: one WGS course or permission of instructor.
