WST 265,365,465 - Topics in Women,Gender,and Institutions I,II,III

Institution:

University of Southern Maine

Subject:

Description:

Courses in this category will focus on gender relations and the construction of the category "women"in the context of social structures and institutions. Both social structures and institutions are based on and reinforce assumptions about sex and gender, women and men, and masculinity and femininity. And both ultimately shape the experiences of women and men in society. These courses will examine the experiences of women and men as gendered beings and the way those experiences follow from, perpetuate, and/or alter institutions. The emphasis may be on industrial or non-industrial societies, and institutions for analysis will vary. Possibilities include law and legal institutions, economic institutions, subsistence strategies in nonindustrial societies, systems of stratification, conceptual systems, and education. Prerequisite: WST 465 requires permission of the instructor. Cr 3.
