  • WMST 101: Issues in Feminism

    4.00 Credits
    Denison University

    This interdisciplinary course will examine some aspects of institutionalized sexism in contemporary America, such as differential role socialization and its consequences; legal inequalities; job discrimination; reproductive issues; and violence against women. Every woman's experience of sexism is mediated by her class, race, age, religion, sexual preference and so forth; therefore the diversity of women's experience is a key factor in our study. The class format will be primarily a lecture-discussion format and may include small group discussions.(4 credits)

    4.00 Credits
    Denison University

    The purpose of this course is to explore personal narrative and autobiography as texts of resistance in Black women's lives.

These autobiographical texts will be paired with select readings from women's studies and black studies to provide students with the analytical tools to identify how these texts function as forms of personal, social, political or institutional protest.(4 credits)

  • WMST 190: Science,Sex & Gender

    3.00 Credits
    Denison University

    Current research on sex differences in humans and animals has raised our awareness of bona fide variations in brain chemistry and function between males and females. How do these legitimate research findings compare with our stereotypes about gender differences? During the semester we will investigate several perspectives on sex and gender differences - from popular media sources to leading research. We will also investigate the role of women and men in science in a historical and modern context. Ultimately our goal is to blend our knowledge with our personal experiences to answer the question, "Is the study of science divided by sex and gender?" 4

  • WMST 210: Sex and Gender in Society

    3.00 Credits
    Denison University

    This course compares and evaluates a variety of theories which attempt to explain the origins, persistence and effects of sexual inequality in American society. In particular, it explores a number of settings: the family, the work place, the political arena, religious activity, violence against women, and face-to-face interactional contexts. Special attention is given to the ways in which race/ethnicity, class and sexual orientation shape gender experiences. Although its primary focus is American society, the course compares problems of sexual inequality in American society with other, quite different, societies in order to gain a comparative understanding of how discrimination, prejudice, and structural inequality, wherever they are found, create special problems for women. Throughout, the focus is on learning to use structural, historical, and theoretical information as guides to understanding social change and the choices facing women and men. This course has no prerequisite.(4 credits)

    Are religions problematic to women's lives or vice versa?

The students will be asked to contemplate what issues women are facing in their institutionalized religions and societies; how they create their own sacred space through spiritual practices; and in what ways these women interweave their lived experiences, religious traditions, and social activism together. This course will explore women's diverse spiritualities from cross-cultural and inter-religious perspectives. Prospective traditions will be drawn from Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and Native-American religion practiced by eco-feminists, Latinas, Asian and African women, womanists, and western feminists. (Only offered Fall 2008).(4 credits)
