These courses use gender as a category of analysis and as subject matter, examining how its social construction reflects and determines differentials of power and opportunity. Students analyze women and men as social agents whose biological and social gendered identities and experiences are shaped by--and help shape--systems of race, ethnicity, class, sexuality, and national power. This concentration is interested, above all, in the changing status of masculinity and femininity over time and space.
