Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2406 Intended for freshmen and sophomores who feel compelled by public conversation around gender, to introduce them to methods and theories of scholarly analysis. We read historical texts of American feminism, learning how to approach primary sources in co-ordination with campus archivists. We read novels set in Philly that take up race, class, gender and identity to locate these conversations in this political moment and geographic place. We explore classic and recent theoretical texts, to understand how disciplines ranging from neurobiology to art history understand and intervene in scholarly work on gender. And we examine films with female directors, one from the 1930s and one from 2017 to put all the sections of the course in conversation.; Enrollment Limit: 25; Lottery Preference(s): Gen/Sex concentrators, then first years and sophomores.
