• GNDR 3100: Medusa and Manifestos

  3.00 Credits

  University of Utah

  
  This class is as much about process as it is about product. We will spend significant time reading and discussing decisions we and others make in order to put our ideas out into the world. We will engage with on campus events in order to study how invited guests who do social justice work are creating texts for us. We will grapple with the ways that socio-historical context and power have an impact on our work, and on our ability to even imagine possible ways to do our work. We will consider the past and present work of feminist and queer movements - how is it that past efforts have allowed us to do the work we are currently doing, how are we still insufficient, and how can we do better? All of this will be in support of your semester-long project which will allow you to use writing as a tool to craft, edit, challenge, and focus your ideas about your topic.

• GNDR 3381: Inequal thru Music&Film

  3.00 Credits

  University of Utah

  
  During the election campaign for President Barack Obama, our forty fourth President and our first African American President, one of candidate Obama's famous campaign mantras were the words "Yes We Can!" Soon the catch-phrase, reminiscent of other calls to action such as "we shall overcome" and "si se puede" for underserved populations and populations of color in U.S. history facing issues of social inequality, became a popular music video released by hip-hop musician and rapper Will.i.am. This wedding of issues of social inequality in U.S. politics and society with popular culture media such as music and film is the central focus of this course. Fundamentally, this course is a historical, theoretical, and ultimately, sociological exploration of race, ethnicity, class, and gender as axes of inequality in the United States, through the lens of music and film media. Materials examine the interaction between personal experiences and social structures as students explore how individuals carry varying degrees of penalty and privilege depending on their position within a complex matrix along axes of race, ethnicity, class, and gender that affects everyone in society. Students will be invited to explore the ways that people experience and respond to the matrix, that is, structures of racial/ethnic, class, and gender inequality, and the ways that people help to reinforce and reshape those structures.
