GS 100 - Introduction to Gender Studies


3 credit(s)
This course explores a range of theoretical approaches to the study of gender, laying the foundation for the major and minor in gender studies. Students examine and critically analyze gender theory and its sources. The course approaches gender as a fundamental category of analysis, with careful attention paid to the intersection of race and class. Its emphasis on theory that is anchored in both the humanities and the social sciences prepares students for subsequent gender studies courses, including those exploring the most recent scholarship coming out of queer theory, masculinity, and sexualities.
