GGS 328SEM - Sex, Gender, and Biology

This advanced level, interdisciplinary course is unlike most other gender studies or other science courses, incorporating biology research and health science research, as well as social science and humanistic perspectives on biology and medicine. This class carries the expectation that students will work on course learning activities (reading, writing, studying, etc.) for about 6 hours out of classroom every week.

This course explores biological notions of sex, gender, and sexuality, while examining how androcentric and cisheteronormative biases shape the production of scientific knowledge. It utilizes feminist approaches to methods in the health sciences and biological sciences. This course applies transdisciplinary perspectives to consider work from a range of academic fields and topics in order to critique issues of epistemology, methodology, methods, interpretation, and writing. This course utilizes and examines both peer-reviewed and popular articles, websites, podcasts, and documentaries.
