Featured Course: Unruly Bodies (GWST 345)
By Nahom Nega
GWST 345: Unruly Bodies is a 3 credit course designed towards initiating a new perspective at looking at the human body. Drawing on feminist, queer, social, and critical race theory, this course examines the status of the body in both historical and contemporary debates about identity, representation, and politics. This course is committed to challenging the common sense behind the understanding of how the human body is produced, managed, and deployed in various ways to discipline and manage populations. The course will also investigate all the political possibilities of body work to resist and reshape the disciplinary practices listed above by paying close attention to “queer” forms of embodiment.
GWST 345 can be taken for Arts & Humanities (AH) or Culture (C) GEP credit. Courses GWST 100 or GWST 200 are recommended but not required for this course.
