Prerequisite:
Any two semesters of HS 001 through HS 094
Offered Periodically
This course will explore changing and competing conceptions of manhood,
womanhood, and gender relations in American history. Particular attention
will be paid to the ways various constructions of gender have served the
interests of a race, ideology, or class in American history, the relational
nature of gender roles, and the ways prevailing gender ideals influenced
men's and women's experiences in America.
