3 credits—This course serves as an introduction to the interdisciplinary field of women's studies and to current women's issues in our society. It uses an intersectional approach to explore ways in which women are marginalized and silenced primarily by social definitions and the patriarchal power structure. The course seeks to help students develop critical thinking relative to contemporary gender issues; to explore their assumptions about gender; to illuminate social constructions of masculinity, femininity, and gender roles; and to uncover the ways in which social teachings shape and limit women's lives.
