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.

Class Description:
This is an introductory critical media literary course that approaches media analysis using feminist critique. The field of feminist media studies pays close attention to the ways that gender, race and sexuality are employed in popular culture and media throughout history to develop and reaffirm particular popular understandings of representation, group identification, subjectivity and citizenship. In addition, to analyzing the structure and politics of mainstream media representations this course will expose its students to forms of media that were produced in resistance to and outside of mainstream culture, to illustrate the possibilities and limitations of more socially conscious representations. We will explore the following major concepts: popular culture, spectatorship, technology, feminist critique, genre, the gaze and new media. Students will gain the skills needed to analyze and critique various forms of popular media to then engage in more rigorous and complex media analyses at a higher level.

Class Description:
In this course, we rethink what constitutes ?girlhood? and ?resistance? through situated analyses of racialized and Indigenous/American Indian girls? activism in western settler states. First, we investigate what disrupting the white, able, middle-class, hetero-normative categories of ?girl? and ?girlhood? means for analyses of interlocking forms of violence, oppositional forms of justice, and decolonization. Second, we explore how girls? various engagements with justice, collectivity, creativity, love, learning, and land work to transgress and dismantle settler state logics. Studying the knowledge produced by racialized and Indigenous girls?including those who identify as Two Spirit, trans, gender non-conforming, queer?enables us to address the limited inter-disciplinarity among ?girls/girlhood studies? and Indigenous, queer, and race-radical feminisms, in order to attend to the paradoxical invisibility/hyper-visibility of girls living under settler state surveillance.

Class Description:
Gender and Global Politics is an exciting class that uses current events to explore questions of gender and globalization that are central to the social sciences. In seeking to understand the interconnectedness entailed in 'global politics,' this course focuses on concepts, such as discursive violence, the problem of speaking for others, 'critical global literacy,' and intersectionality- particularly the intersections of gender, race, class, sexuality, and nation- as they emerge through the popular discourse, policy, and material practices surrounding current global situations. An in-depth understanding of globalization and development, 'third world' and differential feminisms, violence and human rights, all serve to further unpack the ways in which power and difference operate to create shifting socio-political hierarchies in various locations. The course satisfies the social science (core) and global perspectives (theme)

Ways in which modern biology has been site of conflict about race/gender. Race/gender demographics of scientific professions.
Class Description:
This course is a critical engagement of Science Studies through the categories of race, gender, sex and sexuality. The course examines the historical and contemporary technologies that transform social relations of sex, gender, and race and human biology, products like Viagra, institutions like public health, and academic disciplines like genetics, to better understand how science has made our lives better through these technologies. Simultaneously this course examines how these same technologies worked to maintain and even create social inequality. Specifically we examine how scientific understandings of bodies, disease, life-processes, and desires shape how we understand who we are and our relations to others for the distribution of resources and the valuation of human life. The course resists the idea that the production of knowledge is objective. Often the products of racism, sexism, and homophobia produced in the pursuit of knowledge are explained as aberrations in the scientific method, as the moments were society and politics corrupts the production of truth in the scientific method. This class recasts this relationship and uncovers how scientific endeavors have often been driven by the production and reproduction of these social hierarchies based on the categories of sex, skin, and genes. This class argues that racism, sexism, and homophobia in their modern forms are technologies of liberalism developed through science and not their unresolved remainder. The goal of this course is two fold. First the student will learn the impacts of science and technology in the production of social inequality. Second the student will learn how to critically engage specific scientific methodologies. Students will deal with primary and secondary materials common in the social sciences, and will learn how to "read" and understand basic scientific research, including basic understandings of genetics or epidemiological modes of data collection. Students will be exposed to and learn how to analyse the following qualitative and quantitative approaches: discourse and text analysis, statistics, case study, epidemiological methods such as clinical trials, disease tracking and interpretation, contact tracing and disease reporting, and scientific research such as genetics. By exploring the history of these methods the student will gain a better understanding of how the production of scientific knowledge occurs and how it is translated into technologies that inform our social worlds.

Contemporary U.S. feminism as political/intellectual movement. Ways in which movement has been represented in popular culture.
Class Description:
Often eschewed as being dumbed-down and trivial, this course takes popular culture seriously for its powerful effects on our lives. Social norms are mainstreamed as never before in this globalized, digital, and corporate era, as we become increasingly inundated with, and immersed in, advertising, modes of surveillance, round the clock news, and entertainment. And yet individuals and communities also have varying degrees of power to shape, reform, and even transform what's ?popular.? This course will examine the relationship between culture and power via popular representations of women. It will ask what popular discourse on gender, race, sexuality, ability, sex, class, species, nation, etc. can teach us about what it means ?to [not] be? and ?to [not] become? a woman. It will ask who controls mass media, to what effect?and on whom? In what ways are we complicit in pop culture, and in what ways?and for what reasons, in which circumstances?might we resist it?if it can, indeed, be resisted? This course approaches our inquiries in three uneven sections: the first seven weeks of class will be spent investigating the field of cultural critique, in order to ascertain the theoretical tools we need to become critical participants in pop culture. The second six weeks of class takes up hegemonic tropes about women, femaleness, femininity, and feminism. The third, brief section of our course is devoted to your final presentations. By the end of our semester, I hope course material and discussion will pique your curiosity about pop culture, and engender new pathways of cultural critique, participation, and transformation. GWSS 3306 satisfies two CLE requirements: Arts and Humanities Core Course and Diversity and Social Justice in the U.S. Theme Course. In addition to articles that can be located on our Moodle site, one book is required: Zeisler & Jervis, eds. Bitchfest: Ten Years of Cultural Criticism from the Pages of Bitch Magazine. New York: Farrar, Strauss and Giroux, 2006. Students will be expected to read all materials, come to class prepared for lecture and discussion, blog, lead two small group discussions, and present a final individual media analysis project.

Class Description:
This course explores the experiences of Muslim women and Muslim families from a historical and comparative perspective. It aims to expand the discussion on Muslim women's lives and experiences beyond the Middle East to highlight the complex and diverse everyday experiences of women around the world. This wider lens exposes the limitations intrinsic in the stereotypical Western representation of Muslims in general and Muslim women in particular. We will explore the intricate web of gender and family power relations, and how these are contested and negotiated in these societies. Some of the themes the course explores include the debates on Muslim women and colonial representations, sexual politics, family, education and health, women and paid work, gender and human rights, and Islamic feminism debates.

Course Catalog Description:
This course will give you a solid theoretical foundation in the field of queer studies in addition to explaining its relation to other scholarly traditions, including (but not limited to) feminist theory, GLBT studies, literary studies, psychoanalysis, and postmodernism. Over the course of the semester you will examine the historical forces that birthed queer politics and theory, become conversant in its conceptual basis, interrogate and analyze its various uses and applications, and finally apply it in your own arguments. prereq: Any GWSS or GLBT course
Class Notes:
Instructor TBD
Class Description:
Theories exist to explain some range of phenomena; they aim at clarification, at bringing order to conceptual chaos. Identities do much the same for our lives; they impose a structure on the disparate stuff of experience. "Queer" names neither a theory nor an identity; it is antithetical to both. But even if we can live without theories (which is doubtful), we cannot live without theorizing, and similarly, even if we can live without identities (also doubtful), we cannot live without identifying (ourselves and others). Queering, as an activity and an orientation, may start by dismantling particular, oppressive theories, identities, and other normalizing devices; but beyond those specific dismantlings - which leave open the possibility of embracing better theories and non-oppressive identities - is a commitment to unsettling what we cannot do without, the ground underneath our feet, whatever it might be. This class starts from the idea that such unsettling, however paradoxical, is intellectually exciting and politically liberatory, but that we risk not just digging up the ground under our own feet, but - far more troublingly - digging up the ground under the feet of others, including some whose allies we take ourselves to be, whose standing may be far more perilous than our own. Our aim will be to productively puzzle over these ideas.
