CREDIT HOURS: 3
This course examines the diverse and fascinating ways western cultures have shaped the meanings of gender. The history of women informs us about the once little-known history of femininity. And, as a result, historical changes in definitions of masculinity become visible. The meanings of gender are explored in this course through topics such as: the doctrine of separate spheres, respectability, the family wage, the homosexual, imperialism, citizenship, welfare dependency, and infertility.
