Gender: Theories and Practices

This course begins by examining gender/sex theories (feminist, masculinity and queer studies) arising from a variety of academic locations. Thereafter, we analyze gender/sex ideologies shaped by and in religio-cultural practices across a spectrum of historical locations (e.g., ancient Greece, early modern Europe, West Africa, and the Middle East). ***Prerequisite: RLST 100 or WGST 100.*** *Note: Students may receive credit for one of RLST 373 or WGST 372.*
