Sociology of Sexualities
(See Soc 290 for course description.)
Gender and Geography
As a point of entry to discussions of gender, place and culture, this course will explore the diverse ways in which geographers have conceived of, analyzed and redefined gender as a contested spatial practice. In particular, using contemporary geographic texts, we will explore the gendered dynamics of geographic research methods, nature discourse, resource management, embodiment and health, agriculture and food, and globalization, among other topics. Emphasis will be placed on recognizing and researching cultural difference across these various topical areas. Readings and class discussion will build through individual and group assignments toward a final research paper/presentation.
