This course explores fundamental concepts in the interdisciplinary field of Women’s Studies and feminist theory, especially as they relate to aspects of identity beyond sex and gender. Students will critically examine concepts of power, privilege, and inequality in conjunction with intersections of gender with race, ethnicity, class, and sexuality. We will read and view texts that allow us to gain familiarity with the roles women occupy in diverse societies, and the social institutions that shape our perceptions of gender, race, and class.
