  • WGST 305: Gndr/Sxlty/Race/Class Pop Clt

    3.00 Credits
    Coastal Carolina University

    This class gives insight into the historical foundations, theoretical concepts, political manifestations, and social issues concerning feminist interpretations of popular culture. Students explore how popular culture generates and articulates understandings of gender and sexuality and their intersections with other identity markers such as race, class, and ability. Popular culture is never simply entertainment. It provides us with the stories, images, and scripts that enable us to imagine and practice femininities, masculinities, and sexualities. These, in turn, are imbued with class and racial values and characteristics. We absorb these norms in the ads we see, the movies/television we watch, and the music we listen to. The class focuses especially on how feminist concepts and theory provide the tools to become aware of issues of discrimination and oppression in pop culture, to discuss them effectively, and to promote social justice.

  • WGST 401: Feminist Theories

    3.00 Credits
    Coastal Carolina University

    (3 credits) Theory provides us with the tools for interpreting and critiquing events, arguments and beliefs; when we read theory, we are forced to consider the world around us in a new way. The goal of this course is not only to critically examine the great variety of feminist theories, but also to encourage students to theorize their own understanding of the world. This course is organized around a careful investigation (and often interrogation) of key debates within Women's and Gender Studies. Central to this course is the idea that understanding the world and understanding significant categories such as race, class, gender, sexuality, and nationality are interpretive, theoretical, and political acts.
