Syllabi Summary:
The course will explore the ways in which the field of Women's Studies has raised new questions and brought new perspectives to those areas where the humanities and social and behavioral sciences intersect, material which is interdisciplinary in nature and frequently poses a challenge to conventional disciplinary boundaries. We will read, analyze, and discuss a selection of such these texts that explore the complexities of gender and expand the conception of the human norm to include qualities historically associated with women.
