This pathway encourages students to evaluate the ways in which understandings of sex and gender have informed and intersected with institutions and hierarchies across time and space, through an exploration of a variety of disciplinary lenses and genres. Courses within this pathway explore the following general questions from different cultural, historic, or geographical perspectives:
- How do cultures understand and/or conceptualize gender?
- How do those understandings intersect with political, cultural, and social institutions?
- How do they shape the lived experiences of individuals and groups? How have dominant ideas and practices around gender been challenged, and what implications might those challenges have today?
- How do different disciplines explore, conceptualize, and/or evaluate concepts of sex/gender?
