concerns. Central to this course will be the ways in which
place, race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender orientation, class, and
age shape women’s experiences and the various socio-political
meanings of gender. We will also examine the ways in which
women have resisted inequality and effected social and
political change. This course will be interdisciplinary in its
approach, meaning that we will read feminist essays from a
wide range of disciplines, including cultural studies,
economics, history, philosophy, political theory, psychology,
and sociology. In addition, we will conduct several small
sociological experiments and observations, and we will watch
excerpts of videos and films. (GC) C-ID SOCI 140
