Women, Gender and Music

3 credits · Undergraduate

This course explores the variety of ways in which gender shapes musical discourse. The role of gender in music will be examined through three broad topics: the history of female contributions to music as musicians, composers, patrons and listeners; musical constructions of gender, race, class and sexuality; and feminist criticism in recent musical discourse. No formal training in music is required. CROSSLISTED: MUSC 3066.03 FORMATS: Lecture | Discussion
