| Description: | Images of disability abound in literature, yet they are most often employed as artistic embellishments, providing a setting for the actions of able main characters or an atmospheric backdrop. Recently, however, there has been a growing awareness that similar to the category of gender, the concept of disability is less a biological fact than a cultural construct and that its representation deserves exploration.
Questions arise as to how these changes and shifts in the understanding of disability are represented in literature across cultures? How do texts talk about women with disabilities in comparison to men with disabilities? What are the intersections of disability and gender and how can they be usefully employed in critical thinking and analysis?
This course will explore these questions by looking at both, women and men with bodily or mental impairments as they appear in various genres and across cultures from the nineteenth century to the present. After a brief introduction to the concepts of disability studies, we will read a wide range of texts going from the Grimm's fairy tales over 19th century fiction for girls to Virginia Woolfe's Mrs Dalloway and J.M. Coetzee's Slow Man. In our readings we will focus on depictions of disabilities as they are related to gender, identity, ethnicity, religion, class, and language. Accompanying materials will include the writings of Lennard J. Davis, Michel Foucault and Rosemary Garland-Thompson. Analyzing the literary texts in their socio-historical settings and against the background of disability and gender studies, we will seek insights into the way disability is constituted by and treated in specific cultures, historical periods, and societies.

| Description: | Helen of Troy is the most famous female mythological figure, renowned as the most beautiful woman in the world and the one who caused the Trojan War. Many Greek and Roman authors were captivated by her, and had different opinions about her level of culpability for causing the war. Is she a victim, a femme fatale, a desperate housewife? As her story is told and re-told, she is turned into each of these and many other character-types as well. In this class, we will read a wide range of ancient authors who wrote about her and discuss how one figure could be depicted in so many different ways. The ways that authors found to excuse her, or to blame her, are creative and diverse. Our focus will be on epic and tragedy, although other authors, such as Herodotus and Sappho, will be included. We will also consider depictions of other female mythological figures for comparison, and visual representations on vase paintings and in sculpture. We will end the course by considering a few modern depictions of her in film. |
|
| Description: | Love and Intimacy are terms that have a lot of cultural cache. In this course, we will analyze the ways in which intimacy has been embedded within certain discourses of privacy, rights, and individuality. In addition to the couple form, we will examine friendship, celibacy, therapy and relationships people form with pets and with objects to flesh out intimacy's multiplicities to see how these forces impact these affective tides. This course will bring together history, critical theory, and film to think through various expressions of intimacy and what it means to relate to the other. Prerequisites: Any 100- or 200- level Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies course or permission from the instructor. |

| Description: | As a hip-hop artist Kanye West has had unprecedented impact on the sonic force of music, fashion, politics, and videography. Coupling his controversial moments, with his corpus of musical texts with special focus on sonic production, this course illuminates "Mr. West" as a case study for interrogating the interplay between fame, gender, sexuality, and race. Mostly, we explore how racialized ways of doing iconography, complex ways of seeing, creates a distorted or reductive frame through which we see the black and famous. Nonetheless, the course oscillates with entertaining these nuances, while being entertained by the decade-long catalogue of music and visual imagery. Together, we extract the "Politics of Mr. West" in his music and life, while also illuminating the importance of a politics of genius-making in the larger arc of black pop culture tradition. |

| Description: | Since President Reagan declared the war on drugs in the 1980s, the numbers of women in prison have increased dramatically. Due to mandatory minimum sentencing requirements and increasingly harsh sentences for non-violent offences, the U.S. prison population has swelled to unprecedented numbers over the last few decades. While women are the fastest growing population in prison, men still make up the vast majority of prisoners, and the system is largely geared toward men and their needs. In this course, we will explore the historical treatment of and contemporary issues for girls and women who get caught up in the criminal justice system. Through readings, films, reflective writings, and facility tours, we will explore the impact of incarceration on women and their families. While our scope will be national, we will focus on the corrections system in Missouri.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a service-learning class, which means it combines classroom learning with outside work at a community organization. In addition to regular class time, there is a service requirement, which will necessitate an additional 4-5 hours a week. There are several organizations with which we are partnering, and you will be assigned to one of these groups to work with for the entire semester. Moreover, there is a required all-day field trip on the last Friday in January when we will visit the women's prison in Vandalia, Missouri and the men's prison in Bowling Green, Missouri. If you cannot commit to these out-of-class obligations, which are required to pass the course, do not register for the class.

| Description: | Both in the United States and on a global level, interrelated inequities in gender, sex, power, class, opportunity, education, culture, politics, race, and sexual objectification are among the social phenomena that contribute to the larger number of women and girls who enter into systems of prostitution and sex trafficking. We will examine the dynamics of sex trafficking on a local and global level from various perspectives, with particular attention given to the sexed and gendered social conditions that impact sex trafficking. In studying the extent and nature of the problem we will look at demand, prevalence, experiences of victims, methods of traffickers, child trafficking, cultural dynamics, and global power dynamics. We also examine international, federal, and state legislation along with organizational and grassroots efforts to prevent and respond to sex trafficking. |
|
| Description: | An anthropological study of the position of women in the contemporary Muslim world, with examples drawn primarily from the Middle East but also from Asia, Africa, Europe, and the United States. Students will examine ethnographic, historical, and literary works, including those written by Muslim women. Topics having a major impact on the construction of gender include Islamic belief and ritual, modest dress (veiling), notions of marriage and the family, modernization, nationalism and the nation-state, politics and protest, legal reform, formal education, work, and westernization. The course includes a visit to a St. Louis mosque, discussions with Muslim women, and films. |

| Description: | What can Psy's "Gangnam Style" and Girls Generation's "The Boys" teach us about gender roles in contemporary Korea? What roles do writers, musicians, and filmmakers play in shaping our thinking about gender? And, how do competing ideas about sex shape the current system of literary, cinematic, television, and popular music genres? These questions will be explored through the analysis of Korean literature and popular media, while the course will simultaneously provide a broad introduction to the field of gender studies. Topics will include love, marriage, beauty myth, family, work, class, sex, intimacy, and body politics. Prerequisites: None. |

| Description: | When someone says, black woman writer, you may well think of Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison. But not long ago, to be a black woman writer meant to be considered an aberration. When Thomas Jefferson wrote that Phillis Wheatley's poems were "beneath the dignity of criticism," he could hardly have imagined entire Modern Language Association sessions built around her verse, but such is now the case.
In this class we will survey the range of Anglophone African American women authors. Writers likely to be covered include Phillis Wheatley, Harriet Wilson, Nella Larsen, Lorraine Hansberry, Octavia Butler, and Rita Dove, among others. Be prepared to read, explore, discuss, and debate the specific impact of race and gender on American literature. |

| Description: | This course (formerly called "Women and the Law") explores how social constructions of gender, race, class, and sexuality have shaped traditional legal reasoning and American legal concepts, including women's legal rights. We will begin by placing our current legal framework, and its gender, race, sexuality, and other societal assumptions, in an historical and Constitutional context. We will then examine many of the questions raised by feminist theory, feminist jurisprudence, and other critical perspectives. For example, is the legal subject gendered male, and, if so, how can advocates (or women and men) use the law to gain greater equality? What paradoxes have emerged in areas such as employment discrimination, family law, or reproductive rights, as women and others have sought liberal equality? What is the equality/difference debate about and why is it important for feminists? How do intersectionality and various schools of feminist thought affect our concepts of discrimination, equality, and justice? The course is thematic, but we will spend time on key cases that have influenced law and policy, examining how they affect the everyday lives of women. Over the years, this course has attracted WGSS students and pre-law students. This course is taught by law students under the supervision of a member of the School of Law faculty. In Spring 2017, Jesse Doggendorf, Sapna Khatri, Rebecca Swarm, and Sarah Watson will be teaching this course under the supervision of Professor Susan Appleton.

| Description: | This course will explore the issue of violence against women within families, by strangers in the workplace, and within the context on international and domestic political activity. In each area, issues of race, class, culture, and sexuality will be examined as well as legal, medical and sociological responses. Readings will cover current statistical data, research, and theory as well as information on the history of the battered women's movement, the rape crisis center movement, violent repression of women's political expressions internationally, and the effect of violence on immigrant and indigenous women in the U.S. and abroad.

| Description: | In this course, we will explore the links between the theories and practices of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies through a combination of research and direct community engagement. Course readings will focus on the ways that poverty and violence, along with race and gender expectations, shape the lives of women. A required community service project for this course asks students to examine the relationship between the course readings and the lives of actual women in St. Louis. Over the course of the semester, students will design and execute programming for women at a local community agency. This is a writing intensive course. IMPORTANT NOTE: this service-learning class means it combines classroom learning with outside work at a community organization. In addition to regular class time, there is a service requirement, wich will necessitate an additional 4-5 hours a week. Moreover, there is a required all-day service training on a Saturday for this course. If you cannot commit to these out-of-class obligations, which are required to pass the course, do not register for the class. Prereq: Intro to Women and Gender Studies or Intro to Sexuality Studies and Violence Against Women: Current Issues and Responses (L77 393) or by permission of instructor.

| Description: | That sensation produces surplus, often uncontainable knowledge, is something that is beginning to be explored in various arenas of queer theory as an important component of queer of color critique. This seminar will explore different sensational arenas, the different possible critiques that they produce, and what this means for thinking about sexuality, gender, and queer theory. Throughout the course of the semester, we will explore sensation in multiple ways 1) as a diagnostic tool for understanding some of the different ways that race, gender, and sexuality intersect 2) as a way to trouble the dichotomy between interiority and exteriority to understand the ways in which orders of knowledge become imprinted on the body 3) as a mode of producing alternate forms of knowledge about gender, race, and sexuality. In addition to reading about different sensations and their relationships to politics and sexuality, this course will require students to think creatively as they attempt to write about sensation, sexuality, and politics. Ultimately, the purpose of this class is to examine sexuality and sensation as collections of embodied and politicized experiences.Prerequisite: Introduction to Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies (L77 100B) or permission of instructor. |
|
| Description: | This course explores the recent emergence of visible movements for sexual and gender minorities across the globe. The course begins with an overview of theories of collective action, putting canonical texts in social movement studies in conversation with postcolonial, queer, and transnational feminist approaches to activism and resistance. The aim is to lay a theoretical foundation for transnational analysis that does not center Western experience. The second part of the course moves through some key issues in LGBTI organizing that are overlooked when focusing on Euro-America, including: the importance of democratic transition for social movements; the prevalence of human rights as frames for sexual rights in the global South; limitations of the term "homophobia" when conceiving of hostility toward sexual minorities cross-culturally; and the role of colonialism and neo-colonialism in the globalization of LGBTI identities. Students will read texts attentive to the specificities of activism and resistance in the global South such as Out in Africa: LGBT Organizing in Namibia and South Africa, Queer Activism in India, and Mobilizing Gay Singapore: Rights and Resistance in an Authoritarian State. Course materials will also include primary source material from translated interviews with Argentine transgender activists the months before the passage of the "Gender Identity Law." Oral presentations will compare a case of LGBTI activism discussed in class to the work done by a St. Louis-based organization. By the end of the course, the students will be able to explain the important ways global Southern LGBTI movements differ from their Northern counterparts, contextualize news reports of events like the passage of the anti-homosexuality bill in Uganda, and craft research contributions based on global Southern case studies.Prerequisite: Introduction to Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies (L77 100B) or permission of instructor. |

| Description: | Nuns -- women vowed to a shared life of poverty, chastity, and obedience in a cloistered community -- were central figures in medieval and early modern religion and society. This course explores life in the convent, with the distinctive culture that developed among communities of women, and the complex relations between the world of the cloister and the world outside the cloister. We look at how female celibacy served social and political, as well as religious, interests. We read works by nuns: both willing and unwilling; and works about nuns: nuns behaving well, and nuns behaving scandalously badly; nuns embracing their heavenly spouse, and nuns putting on plays; nuns possessed by the devil, and nuns managing their possessions; nuns as enraptured visionaries, and nuns grappling with the mundane realities of life in a cloistered community. |

| Description: | The Body! There is probably no other phenomenon in the world that is as directly experienceable and tangible as our own physique, yet at the same time disconcerts and remains opaque to us due to its oftentimes unforeseeable and hardly controllable responses. In this course, we won't try to conclusively solve the question about what the corpus truly is. Instead, we will use the diversity of responses our body has triggered throughout human history and engage in conceptualizations of sex, body, and gender that are quite distinct to our modern-day perceptions. In particular, we will explore early and medieval Daoist visions of the corpus as a microreplica of the cosmos and its impact on various practices such as Inner Alchemy, Techniques of the Bed Chamber, Chinese medicine and mountain-and-water paintings. We will use these perspectives as an opportunity to question our own understandings that are mainly influenced by a dichotomy between the body and soul/psyche as developed in a Euro-Christian context and its materialization in the modern disciplines of medicine and psychology. In other words, we will delve into Daoist conceptualizations of sex, body, and gender in order to understand the emphases and some of the limitations of our own preconceived notions that are far from being universal or exhaustive, yet, heavily determine our actions. |

| Description: | This course is intended to acquaint students with basic ideas and issues raised by a diversity of voices in contemporary feminist literary and cultural theory. Readings will cover a wide range of approaches and tendencies within feminism, among them: French feminism, Foucauldian analyses of gender and sexuality, LGBTQ theories, feminism and disability studies, Third World/postcolonial feminism, and feminism of women of color in a global context." Given that feminist theories developed in response to and in dialogue with wider sociopolitical, cultural, and philosophical currents, the course will explore feminist literary and cultural theory in an interdisciplinary context. NOTE: This course is in the core curriculum for the Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies graduate certificate. Prereq: Advanced course work in WGSS or in literary theory (300-level and above) or permission of the instructor required. |

| Description: | In this course, we will problematize the relationship between women writers and U. S. modernism in works by and about Edith Wharton, Gertrude Stein, Willa Cather, Zora Neale Hurston, and Marianne Moore. We will consider especially the emergence of the biographical and literary "New Woman" as a character type and as a social reality. Beginning with Wharton's reimagining of national and gender identity in "The House of Mirth" (1905) and "The Age of Innocence" (1920), we will read Stein's "Three Lives (1909); Cather's "My Ántonia" (1913) and "Sapphira and the Slave Girl" (1940); Hurston's "Their Eyes Were Watching God" (1937); and selected poems by Marianne Moore such as her satire "Marriage" (1923). Modernist literary women tried to imagine freer social roles for themselves, their characters or personae, and their readers. But to what extent was biographical and social experience aesthetic fate? There will be a number of papers and a formal oral report. Faithful attendance and class participation are required, naturally! No final exam. Graduate students will have extra responsibilities, to be discussed at our first class meeting. Satisfies the Twentieth Century and later requirement. |

| Description: | We focus on feminist thought in Western culture but also examine nonWestern ideas about feminisms. We trace the relationship among emergent feminist ideas and such developments as the rise of scientific methodology, Enlightenment thought, revolutionary movements and the gendering of the political subject, colonialism, romanticism, socialism, and global feminisms. Readings are drawn from both primary sources and recent feminist scholarship on the texts under consideration. NOTE: This course is in the core curriculum for the Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies graduate certificate. Permission of instructor required. Prerequisite: Completion of at least one Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies course or permission of the instructor. STUDENTS WHO HAVE TAKEN L77 475 INTELLECTUAL HISTORY OF FEMINISM CAN NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. |

| Description: | Nearly a decade ago, Jane Garrity reflected that the "gynocritical" work of feminist recovery seemed "no longer hip" within modernist studies, especially in comparison to the recent temporal and geographical expansions of the field. And in her introduction to a recent special issue of MFS devoted to "Women's Fiction, New Modernist Studies, and Feminism," Anne E. Fernald describes the field as one in which "work on women writers abounds but definitions of modernist studies consistently neglect or underserve women." The concerns of this course are twofold: first, we will read an alternate canon of modernist women writers, thereby taking up Fernald's challenge to "read without first measuring every writer against the landmarks we already know." Second, we will investigate the place of feminist and queer recovery work within contemporary modernist studies. Can we move beyond the politics of recovery without denigrating its value? The seminar will coincide with the launch of Feminist Modernist Studies, an exciting new journal in the field, and seminar participants will produce work toward a future submission. Prior coursework in either modernist studies or feminist theory always encouraged but never required; MFA candidates, participants working primarily in literatures other than English, and those studying women writers in other periods are explicitly welcome to join us. Interested auditors should contact Prof. Micir. |
