English 341: Gender and Language

Cross-listed with Women's Studies, English 341 is designed for graduate students and advanced undergraduates interested in an open-minded exploration of the social construction of gender and how gender relates to language. We look at the representation and enactment of gender in forms of language in different communities and groups and in different cultural events. Readings question our taken-for-granted understandings of language and gender. In your term projects, I encourage you to combine analysis and activism.
