WO-100 Introduction to Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies

LASC Categories: ICW, DAC, DIV

How do the experiences of women reflect broader structures of power? What is gender? How does sexuality inform the construction of identity and relationships of power? How do gender, gender identity, and sexuality function in intersection with other categories of difference such as race, ethnicity, class, nationality, and ability?
