Students will examine common and historical ideas to further their understanding of gender and society. Students should expect to read primary documents, watch film, analyze media, complete reflective writing assignments, an independent research assignment, and to help lead in-class discussions. Most of the material focuses on women’s studies in the US and the west, but there will be times we will also draw on examples from other cultures and comparatively study the issues.
