WGSS 326 - Intersections of Gender, Race, Class, and Sexualities Description: This course centers on the intersectionality framework. Its primary focus is on the ways gender is embedded in and intersects with race/ethnicity, class, sexuality, age, ability/disability, and other patterns of identities, groups, and institutions. Course will be offered on even numbered years (Spring). SOC 365 and WGSS 326 are equivalent courses; a student may not receive credit for both.
Credits: (5)
Learner Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Demonstrate understanding of the complex ways categories of difference and inequality interact simultaneously to maintain systems of inequality and oppression;
- Identify and analyze the ways in which hierarchal identity categories are culturally produced, socially constructed, and strictly maintained.
- Examine the historical trajectory of intersectionality as a theoretical concept and research paradigm;
- Develop critical thinking and writing skills in analyzing categories of difference and applying the intersectional approach to their own lives.
