Gender and Sexuality Studies
	GSST 100 - Introduction to Sex, Gender and Sexuality 4.00 credit hours How do history, policies and cultural norms produce, shape, and govern our understandings of gender and sexuality? In what ways do gender and sexuality intersect with each other as well as other forms of identification, such as race, disability, age, ethnicity, citizenship and class? In this interdisciplinary course, we discuss gender and sexuality as social constructions and investigate the ways in which they are connected to power and inequality. By first exploring key term, theories, and concepts within Gender and Sexuality Studies, we then situate them alongside the history of feminist and LGBTQ activism. We will then consider how these concepts can be applied to a variety of contemporary issues such as: gender and sexual identities and the government (i.e. equal pay, reproductive rights, same-sex marriage), representations of gender and sexuality in popular culture and the media, and relationships.

	GSST 210 - Bodies, Markets and Marketing 2.00 credit hours (Same a MKTG 210 .) Bodies hold a conspicuous place in the marketplace: marketers are selling goods and services related to the body, and marketing activities use images of the body that provide implicit and explicit messages about what a “good” body looks like and how to attain one. In this context, consumers’ intersectional identities related to gender, race, class, and (dis)ability, among others, impact how such messages are interpreted on individual, community, and structural levels. This course will explore such phenomena from a sociocultural perspective. Particular attention will be paid to developing the analytical skills required to critique and reimagine bodies in the marketplace. Prerequisite(s): Sophomore standing.
