Class Description:: This course explores contemporary developments in the sociology of gender while also covering some early critical feminist scholarship (Simone de Beauvoir, Patricia Hill Collins, Kimberly Kay Hoang, Tey Meadow…). The aim is to centralize the multidimensional and historically produced practices and performances of gender in social interactions across multiple structural locations. As such intersectional as well as comparative lens will be underscored. We will cover themes on gender politics including bodies, race, sexual boundaries, and families.In practical terms, the seminar provides a community where students enrolled can develop their empirical and theoretical interests in gender scholarship through constructive dialogue with others in the course.
