WGS 200H — Gender and Work (HONORS)
This interdisciplinary liberal arts course examines gender equity in the world of work, broadly defined as what one does to earn income. Assignments emphasize feminist theory/gender studies and international perspectives on gender-related problems that women, in particular, encounter in employment--from factory work to politics to sex work/slavery. Through completion of a participatory civic engagement project, students become involved with the goals and operations of feminist organizations in NYC that empower women and men, here and abroad. Additionally, through their civic engagement project, students can investigate avenues for field research and/or careers. (HONORS)
