GWS104 Introduction to Gender and Women's Studies

This class will examine the ways that socialized behaviors and social relations of women, men, non-binary people underlie U.S. politics and culture and ways we experience and perpetuate power relations and privilege. This course will use feminist and interdisciplinary methods to explore gender relations at local, national, and global levels, and will investigate the relationship between the personal and political. Fulfills open, liberal arts, humanities and social science electives.
