GSW 213 - Sex and Power

Course Units: 1

Gender inequity affects everyone. Women continue to be underrepresented in politics, film, STEM, Fortune 500 companies, Silicon Valley, and almost everywhere important decisions are being made. We will pose intersectional questions about the relationship between gender, sex, and power and ask students to engage with the broader social,
cultural, and political implications of institutional misogyny and other forms of discrimination. We’ll consider big picture questions related to women in politics, gender and
the economy, sexual equity, women’s movements, transphobia, popular culture, and more. CC: HUM, SOCS, GCHF, GSPE ISP: GSW
