| This course introduces students to a wide variety of
twentieth and twenty-first century fiction, poetry, and drama written
by gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, queer, and questioning
writers. Students will take a special interest in the unique artistry
in the work of these writers as well as in how the work influences
and reflects various facets of GLBTQ culture and the position of the
GLBTQ community in the culture at large. Writers include Adrienne
Rich, Timothy Liu, James Baldwin, Tennessee Williams, Carolyn Gage,
Audre Lorde, Jeanette Winterson, Marilyn Hacker. |

| Topics: Gender and Violence |
GWST 3450.002 |
Jen Macken |
T 6.45-9.30pm CLB 218 |
| Over the past three decades, public awareness of
violence as a human rights violation has increased dramatically. In
this class, we will examine the gendered and systemic nature of
violence. Our focus will be on both understanding and preventing
gender-based violence, asking, what must men and women do to put an
end to this social problem? This will require us to examine our own
ideas about gender and inequality. We will pay special attention to
the ways in which gender-based violence is perpetuated through
interpersonal relationships and through social institutions such as
the judicial system, the media, law enforcement, organized sports,
and schools. We will also investigate the effects of systemic and
interlocking forms of oppression and privilege. |

GWST 3613 (D) |

TR 10.30-11.45 M 212 |
| This course introduces students to some of the newer
scholarly approaches to reproductive politics by focusing on issues
of racism, nation building, and imperial expansion yet retains an
older feminist approach by examining women’s experiences with
the racialized issues of fertility, childrearing, and motherhood.
Students who take this class will be eligible for fellowships to
travel to western Massachusetts to attend the 24th Annual Student
Conference on Reproductive Justice at Hampshire College in April.
This is the class for you if you want to learn about environmental
racism and birth defects; coerced sterilization; punitive
legislation; clinic violence; effective, culturally relevant sex
education; the racial politics of prenatal care; the question of
birth control and abortion as genocide; the history of eugenics; the
criminalization of midwifery and home births; and women of color
feminism. |
