		Enrollment limited to 30
		Using texts and films, this course will explore the nature of women’s lives in both the contemporary United States and a number of radically different societies around the world, including, for example, the !Kung San people of the Kalahari and the Mundurucù of Amazonian Brazil. As they examine the place of women in these societies, students will also be introduced to theoretical perspectives that help explain both variations in women’s status from society to society and "universal" aspects of their status.

		Enrollment limited to 100
		Do current Western attitudes toward sex and sexuality have a history? How and why did ancient Greek society glorify and institutionalize homosexuality and consider it superior to heterosexuality? What were the origins and evolution of Greek and Roman sexual attitudes and practices, and in what ways did Roman sexuality differ from Greek? This course will examine ancient Greek and Roman sexual values and practices in order to illuminate contemporary attitudes toward sex and the body. Readings will include selections from Homer, Sappho, Plato, Juvenal, Martial, Petronius, Catullus, and other ancient writers, as well as modern critical analyses. This course is intended for and open to all students. There is no prerequisite and no limit on enrollment.
7163	ENGL-326-01	Representation of Miscegenatn	1.00	LEC	Paulin,Diana R.	M: 5:30PM- 8:00PM	TBA		HUM
		Enrollment limited to 20
		NOTE: For English majors, this course fulfills the requirement of a course emphasizing cultural content, or a course emphasizing literature written after 1800.
		The course examines the notion of miscegenation (interracial relations), including how the term was coined and defined. Using an interdisciplinary approach, we will consider the different and conflicting ways that interracial relations have been represented, historically and contemporaneously, as well as the implications of those varied representations. Examining both primary and secondary texts, including fiction, film, legal cases, historical criticism, and drama, we will explore how instances of interracial contact both threaten and expand formulations of race and “Americanness” in the U.S. and beyond. How is miscegenation emblematic of other issues invoked, such as gender, nation, and sexuality? How do enactments of interracial contact complicate the subjects that they “stage”?

		This course examines women's involvement in British imperialism in the 19th and 20th centuries. What part did ideologies of femininity play in pro-imperialist discourse? In what ways did women writers attempt to “feminize” the imperialist project? What was the relationship between the emerging feminist movement and imperialism at the turn of the 20th century? How have women writers in both centuries resisted imperialist axiomatics? How do women authors from once colonized countries write about the past? How are post-colonial women represented by contemporary writers? Authors to be studied include Charlotte Brontë, Flora Annie Steel, Rudyard Kipling, Jean Rhys, Jamaica Kincaid, Jhumpa Lahiri, and Alexander McCall Smith.

		Enrollment limited to 30
		NOTE: For English majors, this course satisfies the requirement of a course emphasizing literature written after 1800.
		Latino fiction of the past 15 years has come a long way from civil rights conversations and autobiographical narratives of growing up as “the other.” Latinos in the United States are employing innovative textual and linguistic strategies to imagine and define a new place for themselves in U.S. society and in the Americas. Textual narratives from authors Hector Tobar, Alfredo Vea, Julia Alvarez, Junot Diaz, Achy Obejas, Coco Fusco, José Rivera, Erika Lopez, Dagoberto Gilb, Demetria Martínez, Salvador Plascencia, et al, will assist us in understanding this new positioning, in tandem with visual narratives from youtube, film, and performance art. For English majors, this course satisfies the requirement of a course emphasizing literature written after 1800.

		Enrollment limited to 35
		Who are “Latinos/Latinas” and how have they come to constitute a central ethnic/racial category in the contemporary United States? This is the organizing question around which this course examines the experiences of major Latino/Latina groups—Chicanos/Mexicanos, Puerto Ricans, and Cubans—and new immigrants from Central America and the Caribbean. We study U.S. colonialism and imperialism in the Old Mexican North and the Caribbean; migration and immigration patterns and policies; racial, gender, and class distinctions; cultural and political expressions and conflicts; return migrations and transnationalism; and inter-ethnic relations and the construction of pan-Latino/Latina diasporic identities.

7135	PHIL-239-01	African-American Feminism	1.00	SEM	Marcano,Donna	MW: 2:40PM- 3:55PM	TBA
		Enrollment limited to 20
		This course is a historical survey of the writings of African-American women as they have historically attempted to negotiate fundamental philosophical questions of the "race problem" and the "woman problem." To this extent, we will be inserting black women's voices into the philosophical canon of both race and feminism. Along with exploring and contextualizing the responses and dialogues of women writers, like Anna Julia Cooper with their more famous male contemporaries such as Du Bois, up to more contemporary articulations of black women's voices in what is known as hip-hop feminism, we will ask the question of whether there is a particular black feminist thought, epistemology, and thus philosophy.
6979	PSYC-310-01	Psych of Gender Differences	1.00	SEM	Anselmi,Dina L.	TR: 9:25AM-10:40AM	TBA		SOC
		Enrollment limited to 20
		Not open to first-year students.
		NOTE: Course not open to first-year students.
		This course will examine various theoretical models of male and female development from a psychological perspective. By carefully evaluating the empirical research we will explore the myths of gender to understand how women and men are the same and how they are different. Studies of gender, however, must be understood in relationship to the implicit assumptions that researchers make about human nature. Therefore, we will systematically evaluate the role of conceptual and methodological bias in scientific investigations. The course will include an analysis of some non-traditional methods that have served to challenge our thinking about gender differences and sex roles. In order to gain a broader perspective on issues of gender, we will also examine work traditionally found in other disciplines such as sociology, anthropology, and biology.

		Enrollment limited to 20
		Prerequisite: Prior Sociology course or permission of the instructor. Course not open to first-year students.
		In every society the behavior and attitudes expected of men differ from those expected of women. What is distinctive about being a male? How does this vary across cultures, over time and among different groups in the same society? How are change and variation explained? What contemporary dilemmas do men face in the United States, particularly as a result of erosion in the boundaries between the roles of breadwinner and homemaker? What consequences does growing gender equality have for fatherhood and human sexual behavior? This course draws on studies in a number of disciplines to answer these questions and to explore the new scholarship on men and society.
