In this seminar we treat gender as a social relationship of privilege and oppression. We begin by analyzing the construction of gender as a social/political category. We pay attention to the ways in which gender inequality is created, sustained, and changed through cultural and institutional practices. We analyze the links between gender, class, and race, and we explore how social locations in these multiple systems of privilege and oppression shape women's and men's experiences of gender. The seminar carries a heavy reading load and students are expected to participate in seminar discussions.

In this seminar we analyze the role of women and men in productive (paid) and reproductive (unpaid) labor. The seminar begins with a historical overview of the relationship between labor markets, wages, and gender ideology. We then analyze work in a contemporary context. Topics include but are not limited to an exploration of: (a) the double day of paid and unpaid work; (b) the wage gap; (c) protective legislation; (d) economic restructuring and the feminization of the labor market; and, (3) women's resistance to labor exploitation. Through this seminar, we examine how race, ethnicity, and social class influences women's experiences of productive and reproductive labor. This seminar carries a heavy reading load, and students are expected to participate in seminar discussions.
