WMST A100 Women, Culture, & Society
This course introduces students to the dominant cultural influences and societal institutions that shape women's lives today by structuring society along sex and gender lines. Readings and discussions focus on the ways in which gender intersects and interacts with other categories such as sex, race, ethnicity, class, and nation. The course explores the ways that feminist scholars, activists, and women throughout the world have pushed against cultural norms and mores to develop new paradigms for social organization and self-definition.
