Women in Literature Takes as its focus a range of literary representations of women and femininity. We examine how, in literary and pop cultural texts, women s experiences and identities are shaped not only by societal definitions of gender, but also by constructions of race, sexuality and class, and by experiences of colonization and dispossession from history. An interdisciplinary exploration of gender, sexual identity and gender relations, emphasizing historical and cross-cultural aspects and the social construction of masculinity and femininity. A study of historical and current trends and issues in the health and health care of women. This course provides students the opportunity to explore a variety of women s health issues using selected theoretical frameworks such as gender, medicalization and feminism.
