ASRC 2230 - Masculinities

Spring. 4 credits.

R. Snorton.

This course begins with the hypothesis that there is not one version of masculinity but rather multiple masculinities,as influenced by race, ethnicity, class, nationality, sexuality, disability and produced differently in various historical contexts. Exploring the relationship between sex and gender, as it appears across twentieth century U.S. cultural history, this class uses pop cultural texts, visual art, autobiography, and fiction to attend to the ways masculinities and femininities have been structured in dialogue with one another.
