COM 383 - Communication and Gender

Institution:

Gustavus Adolphus College

Subject:

Description:

This course explores how gender and sex are constructed, challenged and reconstructed through our everyday communicative Interactions. We focus on how the human subject is defined through discursive practices, and identify the specific perceptual, interactional and micropolitical activities that contribute to our individual performances of gender and sex. Through our examination of intersecting subject positions (including race, class and sexual orientation), we analyze these categories of identity, the institutions on which they are manifest, and their various implications for social power. Prerequisite: COM-117 or COM-237. Spring semester.
