This course will introduce students to the complex interdisciplinary field that is gender studies today. This course brings together women’s and feminist studies, men’s and masculinity studies, studies of gender itself, and LGBT/Queer studies. All told, these areas of study cover quite a bit of ground. What holds them together, though, is a shared perspective, a set of lenses through which to view and analyze more traditional fields of study like history, literature, and even the sciences. In this course, we’ll consider what those lenses look like and how they work. We’ll practice putting them on, and we’ll explore how different aspects of the world around us (and we, ourselves) change when viewed through the lenses of gender studies.
