GSFS 101 - Introduction to Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies

FC ARHU CD

4 credits
This course serves as an introduction to gender, sexuality, and feminist studies. The central objective is to familiarize students with key concepts, theories, and sociopolitical contentions pertaining to intersecting forms of identity, including gender, sexuality, race, nationality, and others. Paying particular attention to how power marks our experiences of human difference, this course examines issues relating to embodiment, gender performance, violence, and oppression. In so doing, it draws from a diverse and interdisciplinary body of feminist and intersectional critiques, enabling students’ analyses of relevant social, cultural, and political debates in historical and contemporary contexts.

This course is appropriate for new students.
