Spring 2007. JILL MASSINO. Examines the history of Europe from 1750 to the present through the lens of gender. Begins by considering the ways in which ideas about gender informed politics and notions of civic identity, the economic and cultural organization of society, and social relationships and women's position within the family. Proceeds to examine how women and men responded to and, at times, resisted their prescribed roles, both in their everyday lives and though participation in social and political movements and major historical events. Topics of investigation include revolution, industrialization and urbanization, domesticity, nationalism, socialism, fascism, war, the development of the welfare state, feminism, and globalization. Analyzes the way in which race, class, ethnicity, and sexuality intersect with gender and are implicated in broader political, cultural, and social issues. (Same as History 200.)

Fall 2006. JILL MASSINO. Fall 2007. JENNIFER SCANLON. The history of women's studies and its transformation into gender studies and feminist theory has always included a tension between creating "woman," and political and theoreticalchallenges to that unity. This course examines that tension in two dimensions: the development of critical perspectives on gender and power relations both within existing fields of knowledge, and within the continuous evolution of feminist discourse itself. Prerequisite: Gender and Women's Studies 101 or permission of the instructor.

Families:A Comparative Perspective
-
3.00 Credits
Fall 2006. MARK FOSTER. Contemporary critics have argued that late nineteenth-/early twentieth-century understandings of same-sex desiring identities acquired early visibility through self-conscious analogies to racial categorization, i.e., a homosexual is like a mixed-race person: s/he is half one thing and half another. Such beliefs continue to endure to the present day. One of its legacies is the belief that struggles against racial oppression and sexual oppression are mutually exclusive. Uses close readings of both popular and lesser known lesbigay/ transgendered narratives of the era to explore the cultural and theoretical implications of these beliefs, as well as the challenges they have sometimes presented to conceptualizing and implementing radical social change. Possible authors/texts include Radclyffe Hall, Gore Vidal, James Baldwin, Ann Bannon, Rita Mae Brown, Ann Allen Shockley, Patricia Nell Warren, Leslie Feinberg, James Earl Hardy, E. Lynn Harris, Audre Lorde, Take Me Out: A Play, M Butterfly, and Noah's Arc. (Same as Africana Studies 273 and English 273.) Prerequisite: One first-year seminar or 100-level course in English, Africana Studies, or Gender and Women's Studies. Note: This course is offered as part of the curriculum in Gay and Lesbian Studies.
