MASCULINITIES

Undergraduate

This course challenges the ways in which masculinity is assumed to be an extension of the male body and a way to describe men’s social status, roles, and attributes, exploring these connections and examining their consequences. In maintaining that there is nothing universal or natural about masculinity, this course examines how masculinities are constructed and perpetuated, asking to whom these ideas refer and how that matters for different groups of people. PREREQUISITE: Second Year standing or above, or permission of the instructor Three hours a week
