This team-taught interdisciplinary class introduces students to the foundational issues, debates, and methodologies of feminist scholarship. Throughout the semester, students will consider both material and theoretical questions relating to the category of "woman,"and to the experiences of women around the world. Through an examination of women's lives both past and present, the course will explore women's relationships to such cultural institutions as state, church, and family. We will address topics including the biological and psychological aspects of womanhood; the gendered dynamics of power and oppression; the links among gender, race, and class; and the representation of women in literature, the arts, and popular culture-as well as the effects these representations have on both women and men. This course satisfies the Core Curriculum requirement in Humanistic Foundations.

3.00 Credits
This team-taught course studies gender theory from interdisciplinary perspectives, involving the participation of faculty from the arts, the humanities, the natural sciences, and the social sciences. Readings, presentations and discussions contribute to students' understanding of competing definitions of gender in different cultures and at different points in history, especially as they shed light on the emergence of gender studies as a contemporary field of study. Students learn arguments for the importance or irrelevance of gender to issues such as personal identity and political power, and develop their own positions on the meaning, worth and practice of gender, and its intersection with such related concepts as sex and sexuality. The course explores constructions of masculinity and femininity, and recent work in feminist theory, masculinity studies, and queer theory. A group of 1 0-15 faculty collaborate in the teaching of this course. This course satisfies the Core Curriculum requirement in Humanistic Foundations.
