In Language, Gender and culture, students gain an in-depth understanding of how gender and language are integrated into the fabric of cultures and societies and how sociocultural contexts give meaning to linguistic practices and to gender categories. Students will examine and evaluate a diverse body of literature and scholarship from the fields of linguistics, anthropology, gender studies, and sociology that bear on these issues. Critical attention will be paid to understanding the roles of language and gender in the U.S. context, especially with regard to the U.S. social institutions of education and the media; we will also explore relationships between language and gender in a range of other Western and non-Western cultures. Students will apply what they have learned in the course to final projects that may be research-based or outreach-based.

GWST 439 - Women in Africa and the Diaspora (3.00)
This course uses the comparative approach to examine the experiences of women of African descent from the era of the trans-Atlantic slave trade to the present. It will introduce students to interdisciplinary and comparative theories and materials that will enable them to explore the economic, cultural, social and political roles of women in Africa and African descended women in the United States. Using comparative gender analysis as its theoretical focus with a global perspective, the course emphasizes the diverse, shared historical experiences of women of African descent as enslaved persons, colonial subjects and victims of all forms of oppression as well as agents of social change. Examined as well are their roles in society as mothers, daughters, wives and workers along with their participation in social and political movements since the abolition era. The course also highlights how such other social indexes as class, race, ethnic, national and religious backgrounds affect women’s lives and roles in society. Problems and issues that directly affect them and how to improve their status in the face of increased globalization will be explored.
