HIST 030 PZ -Women and Gender in US History

Institution: Pitzer

Description: This survey course will examine the representations and intersections of gender, race/ethnicity, class and sexuality; and the borders and fluidity of various categorizations in American Culture from the precolonial period to the twenty first century. Although the primary focus will be on the experience of women and men in the United States, we will also examine how gender relationsâ€”in the United States and elsewhere in the worldâ€”are increasingly linked to patterns of global economic restructuring. The class will consist of lectures, discussions, participation, and group work/presentations. The final for the course is an oral history project where you will conduct an original interview, research the relevant historical context for your subject, and write a paper which illustrates your understanding of the major course concepts and themes as it relates to your interview.
