DESCRIPTION

How do we learn to 'do' gender correctly? Is gender 'natural'? In this unit, we will catalogue and account for the ways in which gender is produced, enacted and performed in our everyday lives. The primary objective of Gender, Culture and Identity is to enable the development of a critical lens through which to understand the social forces and structures of power that shape us as gendered individuals and construct the world in which we live, drawing on feminist and sociological research and theoretical frameworks. The ways in which gender is mediated by race, class, and sexuality will be of particular concern. Drawing from classic and contemporary scholarship, films, images, and discussions, we will explore issues ranging from gender roles to drag and performance to beauty pageants, body building and cyborgs.
