WOST 330 Gender in World History

(Cross-listed from Hist 330) A comparative studies in world history course. Women have been left out of the world’s history, particularly women in the non-Western world who are stereotyped as oppressed and passive. Putting women back into the center of world history unsettles older historical paradigms and challenges our ethnocentric assumptions. Explores the diverse experiences of women as active agents in shaping their world through a comparative case-study approach.
