This survey course introduces students to Greek and Roman myths: stories about gods, heroes and heroines, monsters, the workings of the universe, and how human beings fit in. Myths address various important questions people have, such as "why are human beings on the earth?", "what is the best way to live a life?" and "why is there death?" We will look at how people have attempted to answer and make sense of these questions, as well as consider how these stories are a product of a particular culture and why they were so important to the people that produced them. We will also look at how they have continued to influence culture into the present time.

Feminist philosophers seek to understand and critique practices and institutions that oppress and subordinate women. They explore questions like: what is the nature of gender oppression, and how is it related to other types of oppression, such as racial oppression? What makes someone a woman or man? Is there a difference between a person's sex and their gender? Are women "naturally" different from men, and would it matter if they were? Is there a male bias in science and ethics? Can a pluralistic society like ours fight women's oppression while also recognizing the rights of cultures to maintain their distinctive practices? In this class, students will work to understand and evaluate prominent feminist answers to these questions, with an emphasis on helping students develop their own well-reasoned views on feminist issues and apply those views to their own lives. (Prerequisite(s): READ 0722 or READ 0724 or EAPP 0900 with a grade of "C" or better, or appropriate assessment score) (MnTC: Goals 6 & 7) 3C/3/0/0
