WGS 213 - Women in American History
4 Hour(s)
Although the slogan, “Well-behaved women seldom make history,” has become popular in recent years, in this course we will consider the lives of all women – both well- and ill-behaved. Women’s history began as the study of famous individuals such as Eleanor Roosevelt, Abigail Adams, and Harriet Tubman, and their lives certainly matter, but so too do the experiences of everyday women. These include women like my great-great grandmother, who traveled across the Atlantic from Sweden to the Kansas prairie with her six children, only to die just a year after emigrating, leaving her family in the hands of her grieving husband and younger sister. This semester we will explore the role that women have played in the history of the United States, with a keen eye for the differences, as well as similarities among women. No singular “woman’s experience” exists, but we will attempt to understand the ways that gender, alongside race, class, sexuality, and ethnicity, has shaped women’s opportunities and experiences. This is an H2 course, so we will continue to develop the skills outlined in the Pio Core: critical thinking, analytical writing, and information fluency (research), through the methods specific to the discipline of history.

This course will be conducted largely in seminar fashion, meaning that learning will take place through careful reading, thoughtful, informed discussion, and analytic writing assignments.

WGS 314 - Queer and Gender Theory
4 Hour(s)
Queer is a protean term. It can be used as an adjective to mean simply strange or odd as in Louisa May Alcott’s observation in Little Women that “Girls are so queer you never know what they mean.” It can also be used as a noun meaning, roughly, homosexual as in William F. Buckley’s famous outburst to Gore Vidal, “Now listen, you queer, stop calling me a crypto-Nazi or I’ll sock you in your Goddamn face.” Finally, queer can be used as a verb meaning to spoil or ruin as in the British idiomatic expression “queer the pitch.” Taking the delicious ambiguity of the term “queer” as our jumping off point, this course will consider “queer theory” and “queer politics” in all its valences. We will examine the history of the production of “queer” as a sexual and gender identity as well as some of the queer contemporary implications of this history. We will also consider a variety of theoretical interventions that attempt in various ways to “queer” politics and its fundamental concepts and categories including power, citizenship, the state, masculinity, femininity, and the public and the private.
