WGST 303 - Water and Women

Institution:

Coastal Carolina University

Subject:

Women's and Gender Studies

Description:

(3 credits) This course is an interdisciplinary exploration of the relationship between water and gender. Students in the course gain an understanding of feminist theory and basic aquatic ecology. Throughout the course we explore both the gendered conceptions of water in science and society as well as the social and physical influences that water (and the abuses of water) can have on women and their communities. We investigate topics related to ecological, social, and cultural dynamics of water, paying particular attention to the themes of gender and justice. This course draws on readings from multiple disciplines, including geography, ecology, gender studies, and science and technology studies. The format of the course is comprised of lectures, discussions, fieldtrips, and film/media studies. F,S
