This course will introduce students with literature, popular culture, and critical theory concerned with contemporary issues of gender, especially as it intersects with race and class. Through close reading, class discussions, and reflective writing, students will come to understand the ways in which gender is constructed, and how authors of different backgrounds have interrogated and pushed back against those constructed gender roles.
