WGSS 308 - Masculinities

Institution:

Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

This course critically examines the subject of masculinity through a number of themes including history, society, politics, race, gender, sexuality, art, and popular culture. Interdisciplinary readings are drawn from the fields of sociology, anthropology, literature, history, art history and cultural studies. We examine the challenges presented to "masculinity" (and a variety of responses) by the late-20th century emergence of gender studies. Our goal is to come to a working definition of masculinity/ies and gain an understanding of some past, current, and possible future masculine behaviors, mythologies, ideologies, experiences and identities. Previous course work in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies strongly recommended but not required. Attendance mandatory first day in order to reserve your class enrollment.
