Women, Culture and Society serves as the preliminary course to the interdisciplinary field of Women’s and Gender Studies.  It will provide students with an introduction to the literature and the historical evolution of the discipline, as well as an understanding of how scholars and students in the field analyze women, gender, and feminist theories.  It will use an interdisciplinary approach to do this.  This introductory course encourages students to rethink and reevaluate much of what they have experienced and learned and to gain the critical vocabulary and analytic skills to question the gendered world in which they live.
