In this course, we will explore the social construction of gender and learn about the cultural history of gender identity around the world. We will also look inward and consider how our own environment has shaped our identities. Throughout the course, you will be challenged to critically examine your own assumptions about gender as well as confront contemporary understandings of the gender binary in order to disrupt the status quo. Students will leave the course with a more inclusive lens in which to view gender in the world.
