GWST Summer Spotlight: Gender & Inequality in America

Wed, 05 Apr 2017 18:10:24 -0400

Still deciding about summer classes? Check out GWST 310: Gender & Inequality in America, taught by Dr. Kate as a hybrid course in the first six week session!

Class reading and discussion will take place online. The class will meet in person once a week in the new UMBC classroom in the Lion Building in downtown Baltimore. From there, we will head out in the city on field trips to explore class concepts and problems by exploring Baltimore. Don't miss this great opportunity to get to know your city and think through some of our most pressing issues with an instructor who studies Baltimore history. Topics will include: gender and food justice; the politics of incarceration and policing in the city; and the history of housing, and urban renewal in Baltimore with a specific focus on gender and the politics of public housing.

The course meets the AH GEP requirement and satisfies the elective credit requirement for the GWST major, minor, and certificate.
