CLQ 3350 C25/GS: Gender in the Digital Age
This course will explore the relationship between media and gender identities, focusing on how gender and technology intersect in our personal, social, and work lives. We will study science fiction, video games, social networks, biotechnologies, advertising, film, and television. In what ways are the internet and other digital media changing our attitudes about gender and sexuality, about reproduction and family, about work and leisure; and what are the personal, political, and social implications of such changes? Our goal is to better understand the influence digital media is having on gender self-identity in both our own lives and in larger societal contexts. Corequisite:
