GWST 378 - Women, Gender and Science

(3.00)

This writing intensive seminar explores the connections between science and gender through two interrelated questions. It considers if and how gender shapes the practice of science – do women and men “do” science differently? And it considers what scientific knowledge says regarding sex, gender, and sexuality – how have the sciences conceptualized and analyzed sex, gender, and sexuality? Students will complete a semester-long research project that builds a case-study that responds to one of the two questions organizing the course. Recommended Preparation: GWST 100, or 200.
