- Class Description:
- What do we mean by "Sex", "Gender", and "Sexuality"? Why are some people considered "normal" and others deemed deviant? What are the historical and cultural processes that lead to such categorizations? What is our role in constructing these social formations? Gender, Power, and Everyday Life (GWSS 1001) is an Online, 3 credit, full semester course, in which we will learn how the social categories of sex, gender and sexuality transform our understanding of our society and the world. Over the semester, we will sharpen our awareness of how gender and sexuality relate to other identity markers such as race, class, nation, dis/ability, and citizenship. We will look at a variety of texts from history, law, popular culture, ethnography, and the news, and use feminist and queer theories to take a deeper look into how the politics of sex, gender, and sexuality inform our everyday lives. Online group work, debates, peer responses, and media sharing will help us create an exciting and interactive online learning environment, together.
