COMM 22300 - Community, Gender & Sexuality

Course Credit: 1
Communication, Gender & Sexuality This course explores the ways in which gender is constructed and performed and how communication influences these processes and performances. We will focus on the construction and deconstruction of gender including cultural, legal, political, and ethical issues. We will also explore historical perspectives and theories related to gender and communication. We will examine how our gender identities have been structured within different modes of communication and how our gender identities intersect with other aspects of our cultural identities (race, ethnicity, nationality, class, sexual orientation, and age). Therefore, this course takes critical/cultural studies perspectives to interrogate the notion of gender. [AH, D]
