GNDR 2500 - Gender Justice Scholars

This course is an interdisciplinary investigation of the social, political, economic, and historical context of schooling for students in U.S. K-12 and higher educational systems who are/have been minoritized due to their gender and/or sexuality. Students will be introduced to theories and skills that will allow them to critic the educational experiences and realities of being students. The class will also explore the experiences of women and LGBTQ people in social institutions that are connected to educational systems such as healthcare, family, politics, media, and work. A vital component of the course will be to consider the way that intersectionality unfolds in the lives of women and LGBTQ people, therefore, race, class, age, ability, religion, and citizenship status will be considered throughout the course. To insure students are developing their scholarships and skills they will practice facilitating dialogues outside of the classroom.
