FYE 1600 Sex and Gender thru Lens of Big History
This course retells the story of Big History from the perspective of sex and gender. We investigate how the major turning points in this narrative-the advent of biological sexual reproduction, of hunter-gatherers, of the agricultural age, of the industrial revolution and of current social structures-have shaped our understanding of sex and gender. Conversely, we also examine how sex and gender shape our understanding of culture. Prerequisite:
FYE 1001 or
FYE 2000.
