IDS 202H Honors Introduction to Women’s and Gender Studies 3 Credit(s) HP DPDS Women’s Studies and Gender Studies are complementary interdisciplinary fields whose research and scholarship examine women and gender through historical, social, cultural, national and transnational contexts. Students will explore how gender identities are constructed and negotiated through institutions like families, communities, education, religion, the media. Students will explore how intersections between gender and other categories such as race, class, sexuality, and ability shape power dynamics between groups, and will use feminist theories and mythologies to explore possibilities for resistance and social transformation. In addition, Honors students will conduct independent research on a topic of interest and consider how interdisciplinary thinking and research may be used to address social issues related to diversity, power dynamics and social justice.
