WGST 3345

(3 Credits) 3 Lecture hours (formerly WMST 3345) This course examines historically varying ideas about sex and gender, and culturally formulated discourses of embodied masculinities and femininities at the intersection of sexuality, race, class, disability, age, size, and other dimensions of difference. Students will consider how the body has been viewed, explained, classified, used, governed, regulated, represented, and studied, and will think about the centrality of the body in social interactions, identity, inequality, and resistance.
