WS 202 - Religion & Gender (3)

This course will examine how gender concepts and religious rhetoric have shaped each other across the globe. Drawing from a number of different religious traditions, we will focus on religion as a social tool reflective of a culture’s larger power dynamics, including (among other things) its: gender roles; ideals of sexuality; attitudes about reproduction; and norms regarding physical embodiment. 2020 CORE: Liberal Arts, Religious Studies, Global Studies.
