WOST 120 - Introduction to Women’s Studies

Nancy Marshall , Adjunct Associate Professor
An introduction to the interdisciplinary field of women’s studies with an emphasis on an understanding of the common differences that both unite and divide women. Beginning with an examination of how womanhood has been represented in myths, ads, and popular culture, the course explores how gender inequalities have been both explained and critiqued. The cultural meaning given to gender as it intersects with race, class, ethnicity, and sexuality will be studied. Consideration will be given to one of the central dilemmas of contemporary feminist thinking:the necessity to make gender both matter and not matter at the same time.
