Summer 2016
WOMST 105 Introduction to Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies
Section A: MTWTF 8:00--G. Sabates
An introduction to the interdisciplinary field of feminist scholarship, which seeks to understand the
creation and perpetuation of gender inequalities by examining historical, theoretical, and cross-cultural
frameworks for the comparative study of women and gender. This course aims to sharpen students' critical
awareness of how gender operates in institutional and cultural contexts and in their own lives. Particular
attention will be paid to the intersections of race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, age, national origin,
disability, culture, and movements for social change.

social categories that organize our lives.

divided into three central parts: the sexualization of race and the racialization of sexuality; sociocultural perspectives on race and sexuality; and queering the Color Line and histories of
