Gender Studies
Gender studies at the University of Chicago encompasses diverse disciplines,
modes of inquiry, and objects of knowledge. It is not a concentration, but
rather a cluster of courses linked by their attention to gender as an object of
study, or by their use of gender categories to investigate topics in sexuality,
social life, politics and culture, literature and the arts, or systems of
thought. Students are encouraged to use this listing of faculty and class
offerings as a resource: for the purpose of constructing an interdisciplinary
concentration in gender studies (for example, in General Studies in the
Humanities); for the purpose of designing programs within disciplines;
as an aid for the allocation of electives; or the pursuit of a B.A. project.
For further work in gender studies, students are also encouraged to investigate
other courses taught by the resource faculty. For more information about gender
studies, contact Kathleen Forde (HM 266, 702-0569).
