Senior Seminar in Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies: Social Sciences - CUE, WR

This course is designed to deepen students' understanding of the evolution of interdisciplinary research of gender and its intersection with other structures of power and privilege. Students will investigate and critique the politics of issue-framing, question-formation, and rules of evidence that shape knowledge-production about gender and power. Students will apply gender-informed analyses to the hierarchies of difference structuring contemporary society. This course will help students become skilled analysts of the nuanced complexities of social change in diverse fields such as medicine, government, media, non-profit organizations, law, and education
