Course Overview

Women's Studies is an interdisciplinary field designed to provide an understanding of the complex ways in which gender and sexuality are defined in relation to society, culture, science and technology. Its critical perspectives are both analytical (synchronic) and historical (diachronic). The field of Women's Studies challenges and transforms traditional disciplines through new methods and theories generated by feminist scholarship. It offers students critical ways of thinking about how prevailing issues of gender and sexuality shape social, political, economic, and institutional structures as well as personal experiences and perceptions. At the same time, it offers diverse perspectives on women's issues, within local, regional, and global contexts, self-critically presenting continuous challenges to Women's Studies itself. In this sense, Women's Studies promote awareness of diversity among women through the integration of content and theory to reflect the racial, social, ethnic, sexual and other forms of diversity of women's experiences and practices. Hence Women's Studies is, by design, an interdisciplinary, multicultural, and critical project with both theoretical and practical goals.
