GEND 3000 Gender Advocacy

This course provides an overview of key contemporary theories, concepts, issues, and debates in Gender Studies as well as an overview of the historical roots that inform this interdisciplinary area of study. Students will also conceptualize and develop an applied gender-project. While topics may vary by instructor expertise and state of the discipline, currently, focus will be placed upon:


  • Intersectionality (categories such as gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity, citizenship status, social class, caste, ability, and age interlock and work together)
  • Transnationalism (no matter one's location or awareness, one is connected to others in different parts of the world)
  • Masculinities (analysis of masculine social formation and feminist masculinities)
  • Prerequisite(s): Minimum sophomore standing.
  • Normally offered each spring semester.
