Voice, Gender, Performance

3 Credits

How do people use their voices, and what does this reveal or conceal about their gendered identities? How do gendered voices intersect with other aspects of identity, such as region, class, nation and race? This course explores how gender is voices in a variety of different spaces by drawing on theoretical material from a range of disciplinary fields, including cultural philosophy, sociolinguistics, film studies, and psychology while equipping students to use the voice creatively through mixed learning methods and attendance at exhibitions and performances.
