How has feminist scholarship changed the way questions are asked and answered in established disciplines like political science, anthropology, sociology, art history, physics and biology, history, and literary studies? How is women's studies, in turn, dependent on the theories and methods developed in the sciences, the social sciences, and the humanities? This course will introduce students to the interdisciplinary field of women's studies by examining the kinds of questions asked by feminist scholars in three disciplines: anthropology, history, and biology. We will consider how women's studies have transformed the established disciplines in the last 20 years and in the process, will study the complex processes of the production of knowledge. Warning: Taking this course may be hazardous to your preconceived ideas.
