GWST 245 - Arab and Muslim Experiences in the United StatesThis course introduces students to Arab and Muslim experiences in the U.S. via the study of literature, film, and art created by Arab and Muslim Americans. The course takes a historical approach and looks at texts that concern major historical events in Arab and Muslim American history. It will discuss how Arab and Muslim artists and writers are responding to and refusing racism and Orientalism while challenging gendered, sexual, and cultural norms within their communities.
GEP: Art and Humanities, Culture
GWST 338 - Women, Gender + LawThis course examines how American civil and criminal legal systems shape gender and identity. It explores gender and intersectional identities in society and the historical development of women's citizenship and legal rights. Using case law as the primary text, the course focuses on statutory remedies to discrimination in employment and education, reproduction and personal life, and the response of criminal law to domestic violence, rape, and sex work.
GEP: Social Sciences
GWST 340 - Women, Gender, + Globalization
This course focuses on how gender influences social, economic, and political forms of globalization, development, labor and migration, international sexual and health politics, and activism in various regions outside of the United States. We start with representations and consider how "women" have been constructed as a group cross-culturally and as part of feminist imaginaries. We analyze case studies of global and transnational movements for change led by women around the world. Finally, we discuss the ways in which gender matters as a framework for understanding global relationships and politics.

GWST/ENGL 364 - Experimental Writing by Women: Race, Gender, and the Avant-Garde
This course will examine multiple feminist theories of writing as we trace the relationship of the categories "experimental" and "avant-garde" to gender and race. From the women-run Little Review, the central outlet for modernist texts of the 1920s, to recent debates about the "whiteness of the avant-garde," we will study how women-identified people respond to white supremacist heteropatriarchy with experimentation in literary form and textual circulation.
GEP: Writing Intensive, Arts and Humanities
GWST/HIST 366 - Doin' It: Case Studies in the History of Western Sexuality
This course will explore how sexuality works in Western history. We will work with the contention that sexuality, along with connected notions of masculinity and femininity, are largely social constructions, and have been the object of intense social scrutiny and political regulation. We will investigate sexual desire and behavior, and sexual and gender ideologies, and will explore how they relate to a variety of topics such as race, marriage, reproduction, same-sex relations, religion, and the politics of state building. **Counts towards the Critical Sexuality Studies Minor
