WGSS 3461: Hooking up: Healthy Exploration or Harmful Exploitation?
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
Not since "free love" discourse in the 1960s and 70s has young adults' sexual culture come under such academic scrutiny. A plethora of studies attempt to frame and understand the significance and consequences of increasingly casual patterns of sexual behavior among America's teens and young adults. This course looks at the contemporary cultural phenomenon of hooking up, from feminist, social, and symbolic interactionist, and critical theoretical points of view. We consider the historical contexts, political implications, and personal consequences of hooking up. We read both literary and social science texts. Prerequisite: any 100- or 200- level WGSS course or permission of instructor.

WGSS 347: Gender and Citizenship: Writing Intensive Seminar
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
In this writing-intensive course we examine how ideas about gender have shaped the ways Americans understand what it means to be a citizen. We focus on a variety of cases in the past and present to explore the means by which women and men have claimed the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. The types of questions that we ask include: What rights or duties devolve from the status of citizen? Who qualifies for citizenship and what qualifies them? What distinct models of citizenship have been available to Americans? How have individuals used notions of gender identity to make claims to political subjectivity? And finally, how do gendered claims to citizenship intersect or conflict with claims based on race, class, ethnicity, or humanity? Prerequisite: previous coursework in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies or permission of the instructor. Not open to students who have taken WGSS 210

WGSS 348: Rethinking the 'Second Wave': The History of U.S. Feminisms, 1960-1990
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
The U.S. women's movement has been called "the 20th century's most influential movement," but until recently, assessments of its origins, characteristics, and impact have been largely impressionistic and subjective, left to movement participants and popular culture. Building on a recent explosion of historical studies of American feminism, this course examines the history of the so-called "second wave" of the women's movement from its origins in the early 1960s to its alleged demise in the late 1980s. Topics covered include the origins of feminist activism; the traditional history of the women's movement and recent revisions; how race and class shaped the feminist movement; how feminist ideas and organizing transformed American society; feminism and individual experience; and responses to the women's movement. In this discussion-based course, we read scholarly analyses of the women's movement as well as memoirs, popular essays, and many primary documents from the period.

WGSS 3561: Women and the Law
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
We explore the development of women's legal rights by examining the ways in which social constructions of gender, race, class, and sexuality have shaped American legal concepts within the limited bounds of traditional legal reasoning. We begin by placing our current legal framework, and its gender, race, and other societal assumptions, in an historical and Constitutional context. We then examine many of the critical questions raised by feminist theory, feminist legal thought, and other critical perspectives. For example, is the legal subject gendered as male, and, if so, how effectively can women use the law to gain greater social equity? What paradoxes have emerged in areas, such as employment discrimination, family law, or reproductive rights, as women have sought liberal equality? What is the equality/difference debate about and why is it important for feminists? The course is thematic, but we spend time on key cases that have influenced law and policy, examining how they affect the everyday lives of women.

WGSS 358: Scribbling Women: Nineteenth-Century American Women Writers
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
In 1855, Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote to his publisher, William Tichnor, that "America is now wholly given over to a damned mob of scribbling women, and I should have no chance of success while the public taste is occupied with their trash." In this class, we examine works of those scribbling women of the 19th century. We read one of the best-selling novels of the century, one that created a scandal and ruined the author's literary reputation, along with others that have garnered more attention in our time than their own. In addition to focusing on these women writers, we also explore questions about the canon of American literature: What makes literature "good"? What constitutes American literature? How does an author get in the canon and stay there? Finally, in this writing-intensive course, there are frequent writing assignments and a strong emphasis on the essential writing process of drafting and revising.
