POLSC 217 - Gender and American Politics
Credits: 4
A study of women’s participation in American politics as activists, citizens, and elites. We examine the suffrage movement as well as modern women’s liberation movements. We explore how gender shapes public opinion and voting behavior. We study the experiences and challenges faced by women running for or holding political office. We examine the ways they navigate the US political system to accomplish policy and electoral goals. Throughout the course, we consider the meaning and nature of gender equality and analyze the ways that gender intersects with other categories such as race, sexuality, and class.
Distribution Requirements: CL, PD.
