GWS 395-01 - Special Topic: Racialized Masculinities in U.S.

4 credits (Fall)

This course explores the intersections of race, class, and gender to understand the experiences of men of color living in the United States. Students will explore hegemonic, complicit and subordinated masculinities. We will examine the ways in which Latinos, Black and Asian American men are stereotyped in popular culture and their resistance to such images and racialized rhetoric from the nineteenth century to present day. Students will critically engage hegemonic, complicit, and subordinate masculinities found in communities of color.
