Proposed Minor:

WGSS 28000 – Women’s, Gender, & Sexuality Studies Prereq; none An introductory survey of the concepts and research data in the new scholarship on women, gender, and sexuality. Topics covered include biology, sexuality, socialization, family and work, creativity, and politics. Recommended both as an overview for those generally interested in gender and women’s issues, and as a foundational course for those committed to more advanced women’s studies. Though the content will vary in specific sections, 28000 will always focus on the intersection of gender with factors such as race, ethnicity, class, sexuality, and nationality in U.S. and global contexts.
