GWS 275 - Gender in Education (3 cr.)

Explores theories and experiences of how gender is socially constructed and practiced in educational settings–schools, day-care settings, higher education, prisons–as dominant institutions of North American and European societies. Introduces intersectional analysis–connecting patterns of gender with race, class, sexuality, place, and other vectors of identity–to examine personal narratives of schooling and to compare patterns across social groups. Considers current issues in relation to globalizing trends.
