This course has been co-designed by faculty members in anthropology and literary studies (in consultation with those in biology, education and philosophy) to explore, interrogate and re-define the variety of ways in which we "do" sex and gender. Our keynotes will be three:
Class Roster
First Web papers: Gender Play
Instructions for Preparation and Submission of Papers Texts to be read in the class include Chris Ware's graphic novel Jimmy Corrigan, Jeffrey Eugenides' American immigration novel Middlesex, and Virginia Woolf's pacifist tract, Three Guineas. We will also study a range of classic essays in feminism (Margaret Fuller, Sojourner Truth), in queer theory (Gail Rubin, Judith Butler, Michael Warner), sociology (Barrie Thorne, Alice Lesnick, Becky Thompson), anthropology (Sherry Ortner, Michelle Rosaldo), philosophy (Michel Foucault), cognitive neuroscience (George Lakoff, Paul Grobstein), history (Joan Scott, Thomas Laqueur), and literary theory (Diana Fuss, Eve Sedgwick). Together, we will think, talk and write our ways through this wide range of literary, cultural and scientific stories about sex and gender, reading and revising what they might mean. Students will be expected to contribute to the education of their colleagues as well as to those beyond the bi-co by participating in a weekly on-line forum, and by putting some of their writing on the web. Students taking this course also have the option of enrolling in a parallel Praxis III internship focused on an aspect of current gender politics. Possible fieldsites, selected based on student interest, include the Women's Law Project, Planned Parenthood, Center for Lesbian and Gay Civil Rights, American Friends Service Committee, N.O.W, Women Organized Against Rape, Kensington Welfare Rights Organization, and Project HOME. Anne Dalke will be the Advisor for the Praxis III component. The Praxis III internship will function as an additional course for an additional credit. As with other Praxis III courses, students in these gender politics internships will work at a fieldsite for 8-10 hours a week for 10 weeks during the semester. Contact Nell Anderson, Director of the Praxis Program (610 526-5031), for further information. Related Events On Campus or Nearby:

Second Session: Spring Scroll. You can see a complete display of such work at http://www.renga.com which also explains that "Renga, or Linked Image, is a new methodology of image creation in the digital era. It was given birth at the intersection of art, telecommunication network and multimedia. Renga artists share and exchange computer graphics art works on telecommunication network. An image will turn into a new piece by going through modification and transformation applied by a different artist, thus creating a series of growing imagery."
