Section Description
Introduction to the field of gender, sexuality, and women's studies. Topics include key theoretical approaches to conceptualizing gender, sexuality, and power; how gender and sexuality are policed; and the relationship between gender, sexuality, and other social categories. We will analyze depictions of gender and sexual identities in literature, media, zines, and visual art. In addition, we will explore theoretical texts, including readings in intersectionality, queer theory, and ecofeminism.
