Summer 2020 Courses GSWS 210-3: Gender Today: Race, Gendered Bodies & Health Tuesdays: 14:30 – 17:20
Joy Walcott-Francis
This course explores the key discourse around race and health with a focus on gendered bodies. It begins with an examination into the social construction of women’s bodies, through the lens of race, ethnicity and feminism. The course also examines ideas and beliefs pertaining to body image, aging and sexuality and the role that these play in influencing health experiences and outcomes. Of critical importance, the course brings to bear, the voices of women with lived experiences of illness, their coping strategies and acts of resistance to challenge systems of racial inequity. Broadly interdisciplinary in its concerns, this course is suitable for students across all disciplines
GSWS 318-4 ST: Gender and Memory in Global Asia
Thursdays: 13:30 – 15:20 Guldana Salimjan The histories of war-torn 20th century Northeast Asia were constructed in the crucible of anticolonialism, socialist revolution, and nationalism. But, who and what is left out of the historical record? How do individuals narrate their stories and reconcile their social worlds? How are these stories gendered? What are the ethics and methodologies of working with memory as data? In this course, we use feminist inquiry to examine the struggles between power, history, and memory in East and North Asia, and how bodies are politicized and sexualized in these contexts.
GSWS 320-4 Drag Cultures: From Riots to Rupaul (Vancouver) Fridays: 9:30 – 13:20
Nadine Boulay
We will examine different iterations of drag performance within LGBTQ history; the different ways that drag and drag performers have operated in explicitly queer/transgender spaces, such as bars or nightclubs; and more recently as reality TV stars, and in ‘family-friendly’ contexts, such as reading to children in public libraries (Drag Queen Story Hour). We will explore representations of drag performers/performances in literature (Our Lady of the Flowers), film (Divine), and TV (Drag Race; Dragula). Students will explore the ways that different drag cultures have been mediated through experiences of race and racialization; poverty and upward mobility; and gender difference. We will read accounts of drag cultures and performers as revolutionaries and radicals within social movement organizing, including the Stonewall Riots and early pride marches and protests. We will consider the implications of mainstreaming certain representations of drag, and the impact of wide-spread visibility and popularity of drag queens outside queer and transgender spaces.
GSWS 399-4: Gender, Sex and Numbers (Quantitative) Mondays and Wednesdays: 9:30 – 13:20
Tiffany Muller Myrdahl
In an era when “Big Data” rules, a critical engagement with the production, collection, and analysis of data (of all kinds) is ever important. This course examines the how and why of quantitative data from a feminist perspective. Students will be introduced to quantitative measurements and their uses, especially within social justice movements and policy circles. Students will learn to interpret and evaluate quantitative data through topics like smart cities, economic justice, and tools used to address urban liveability (safety, housing, transit).
