WST 115 Introduction to Women's Studies
A course for women and men

Instruction: This course is primarily a discussion class with an emphasis on an interdisciplinary approach to examining women's lives. Videos, readings, guest lecturers, discussion prompts, short lectures and small group work and exercises are used to facilitate class discussion.

Purpose: The course is intended to raise a series of questions and introduce students to women's studies. By taking women's experience and interests as central, what can we learn about the cultural consequences of the gender division and organization of social life? Possible readings: Essays, poetry, short stories, critiques of theories, historical analysis, and research studies about women and men's lives are used. Readings are taken from varied sources such as Listen Up: Voices from the next feminist generation and Women: Images and Realities: A Multicultural Anthology
