GSJ 100Introduction to Gender and Social Justice

Students will gain a broad introduction to the interdisciplinary field of gender studies. They will learn to explain how experiences of gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, disability, class, and nationality work together. By examining social justice activism, students will explore how to form solidarity and coalition to challenge gender injustices produced by forces such as racism, colonialism, and globalization. Students can expect to engage with a wide range of material, from art, activism, popular culture, and scholarship across fields such as biology, geography, health, history, law, literature, media studies, philosophy, psychology, religious studies, and sociology.
