WOMS 343 - Civil Liberties:Race & Gender
Credits:
3.00
Civil liberties is the legal face of the fundamental issue of democratic politics: how can we combine majority rule AND cultural pluralism AND protection of individual rights? Beginning with a study of traditional civil rights: the tension between protection of individual rights and the power of the majority in a democracy, we then survey how that traditional understanding has been modified to protect "individuals" who are only in court because they belong to a non-mainstream group or subculture, focusing in depth on two such groups - African Americans and women - reading books which argue that the traditional individualistic understanding of civil rights fails to provide justice. We conclude with a mainstream defense of the traditional view.

WOMS 350 - Women in Visual Arts 1875-1975
Credits:
3.00
This course examines the work of women artists in North America and Europe from 1875 to 1975. Initially, we will examine the social, political, and ideological restrictions that have historically limited women¿s involvement in the visual arts: however, we will also consider, through a series of case studies (e.g. Mary Cassatt, Suzanne Valadon, Romaine Brooks, Kathe Kollwita, Lee Krasner, Eve Hesse, Judy Chicagok, Faith Ringgold, and Mary Kelly), how women artists have chosen to define themselves and to forge their own artistic identities despite these limitations. Although the course will focus on women as creators of art, it will also address how women have been represented by men and other women. General themes of the course include the nature of gendered space; women and modernism; women and abstraction; visualizing ¿female¿ experience; and the intersection of gender with race, class, and/or sexual identity.

WOMS 422C - 19th-Century American Novel
Credits:
3.00
This course explores the diverse literary themes, social contexts, and intellectual backgrounds of the American novel from its beginnings in romantic tradition through the realist and naturalist movements of the late nineteenth century. Works by Hawthorne, Melville, Stowe, Wharton, James, Twain, Harper, and others offer a rich opportunity to investigate issues not only of literary value but of race, class and gender in nineteenth-century America. In addition to analyzing each work's form and genre, we will ask the following questions: What accounts for the inclusion (or exclusion) of this work from the canon of American literature? In what ways does the work reflect, critique, or ignore its social context?

Students will share responsibility for initiating and facilitating class discussions. Students and faculty will work together to develop credible readings of assigned texts.
