GWS 395-01 - Advanced Special Topic: Feminist & Queer Disabiity Studies

4 credits (Spring)

This course examines the social, historical, cultural, and political constructions of the intersecting categories of gender and disability. Through a wide variety of texts and cultural examples, we will explore how disability is gendered, gender is disabled, and both are interwoven by race, ethnicity, class, nationality, sexuality, and subcultures. The course is interdisciplinary and will use popular cultural texts including reality television, history, ethics, and autobiography to aid our exploration.
