Course Descriptions


 

Women’s Studies

  
  • WMS 101 Introduction to Women’s and Gender Studies

    Credits: (3)
    The field of Women’s and Gender Studies employs an interdisciplinary approach to analyzing the experiences of women and other marginalized groups. This introductory course examines the social construction of gender and its effect on cross-cultural, historical, political and literary contexts. Readings and discussions position race, class, sexuality and other categories of identity in relation to gender. While the course focuses on the United States, at times the course will investigate gender relations from global and transnational feminist perspectives.

Writing and Reading

  
  • WRD 098 Writing and Reading in the Disciplines

    Credits: (3EQ)
    This course will practice the kinds of writing and reading expected in the content curriculum as well as in ENG 103  while providing students a chance to satisfy their ENG 099  and RDG 093  requirements.
