Women's Studies ClusterThe field of Women's Studies originated as an interdisciplinary effort to uncover women's experience past and present. Today, the field focuses on gender as a category of analysis and explores the impact of gender on all areas of social life. Although feminist scholarship is diverse in terms of methods and theoretical frameworks, its common basis lies in this focus on gender difference and issues of inequality organized around gender. This focus is central to all courses in this cluster. Cluster Coordinator: Ann Mussey Sophomore Inquiry: Introduction to Women's StudiesIn this course students analyze the varieties of women's experience in contemporary American society, consider how gender relations may be changing, and investigate the social, political, economic, and cultural forces that shape our lives as women and men. Feminist thinking within and across academic disciplines frames the exploration of these topics. Attention is paid to relations of inequality organized along lines of race, ethnicity, class and sexual orientation as well as gender. This SINQ leads to the Women's Studies Cluster.
