WGSS 3041: Making Sex and Gender: Understanding the History of the Body
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
This course provides an overview of the history of the body from antiquity to modern times using an interdisciplinary approach. By exploring selections from medical texts, literature, fashion, art, accounts of "new world" exploration, legal records, self-help books, and contemporary media representations of human bodies, we consider the changing historical perception of the body. The intersection of gender, race, and class factor significantly in our discussions of how the body has been construed historically and how it is currently being constructed in contemporary American culture. This course also provides an introduction to feminist/gender methodologies that apply to understanding the history of the body. This course is not open to students who have taken WGSS 204. Prerequisite: Any 100- or 200-level WGSS course or permission of instructor.

WGSS 306: Between Submission and Power: Women and Family in Islam
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
As a result of recent political upheavals in the Middle East, the Muslim woman, her rights, and her role in the society have been the focus of much attention. Who dictates her dress regulation? Who defines her legal rights? Is she entitled to work? Can she be politically active outside her family? Can she be economically independent? What is her reaction to polygamy? An attempt to look at these and similar questions as addressed by traditional Islam and interpreted in major Muslim countries today.

WGSS 308: Masculinities
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
This course critically examines the subject of masculinity through a number of themes including history, society, politics, race, gender, sexuality, art, and popular culture. Interdisciplinary readings are drawn from the fields of sociology, anthropology, literature, history, art history and cultural studies. We examine the challenges presented to "masculinity" (and a variety of responses) by the late-20th century emergence of gender studies. Our goal is to come to a working definition of masculinity/ies and gain an understanding of some past, current, and possible future masculine behaviors, mythologies, ideologies, experiences and identities. Previous course work in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies strongly recommended but not required. Attendance mandatory first day in order to reserve your class enrollment.

WGSS 312: Globalization and Gender
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
How is gender embedded in the contemporary global economy? In this course, we look at major institutions and circuits of globalization, for the purpose of uncovering masculine principles and privileges, and illuminating women's participation, agency, and resistance. This is slightly different than a traditional "comparative" approach to women's studies. Rather than contrasting women's positions in different societies, we look at the dynamic interrelations of nations with one another. These relations-especially hierarchical ones-are fundamental to and infused with gender, and have impacts upon gender.

WGSS 316: Contemporary Women's Health
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
We identify and study a broad range of health issues that are either unique to women or of special importance to women. The roles that women play as both providers and consumers of health care in the United States are examined. The interface of gender, race, and class and their impact on an individual's access to and experience in the health care system are central concerns. Topics are wide-ranging and include discussions of breast cancer, mental health, cardiovascular disease in women, women and eating (from anorexia to obesity), reproductive issues (from menstruation to fertility to menopause), as well as the politics of women's health, gender differences in health status, the effect of employment on health, the history of women's health research.
