Gender and Sexuality Studies
Test Preparation
Course Introduction
Gender and Sexuality Studies explores the social, cultural, and historical constructions of gender and sexuality, examining how these intersect with race, class, nationality, and other axes of identity. The course analyzes the roles and representations of diverse sexual and gender identities across different societies and time periods, drawing on feminist, queer, and intersectional theories. Students engage with a variety of texts and media to critically interrogate power dynamics, normativity, and resistance movements, fostering a nuanced understanding of gender and sexuality in both local and global contexts.
