DESCRIPTION
This course introduces into the critical perspectives developed in gender studies and intersectionality theory. The key themes and debates that form the backbone of the minor Gender and Diversity will be introduced: the sex/gender debate, social constructivism, sexual difference, performativity, the intersection of race and gender, and of gender and sexuality, the notion ‘intersectionality’.
The aim of the course is to gain an intersectional and multidisciplinary perspective on the themes discussed. In the course we will focus upon the interrelations and divergences between gender, race and sexuality and discuss these from the perspective of the various disciplines of the students.
The course does not only aim at introducing these debates theoretically, but at stimulating reflection upon their disciplines by the students.
