The course examines systemic power through which bodies are politicized and regulated. We further explore resistance and counternarrative embodied by groups and peoples historically and contemporarily held furthest from justice. How is something so intimate as the body shaped by political, economic, scientific, cultural, and community norms as well as resistance to normative politics? Through varied methodologies, this class examines how bodies are made through cultural systems and structures (e.g., media, medicine).<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>GWSS 490 A<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>Special Topics in Women Studies: Queering CRT<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="https://myplan.uw.edu/course/#/courses/GWSS%20490?id=747213e1-7148-4572-a443-40b71bfb41a9&states=N4Ig7gDgziBcLADrgJYDsAmB7MAJApigOYAWALsrAIxUAstANMmOtmAApZQpkpZqUATADYqAXxBigA">SLN 15177</a> (MyPlan)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.instagram.com/p/CoqLOAOrsRo/__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!nyJoI3BLQ2j8B8RyqdpXVRsV8QgTc4CUVMDCGA2PJVeH0N-8RGEq1dkj9nEzuZdRzTyxxNypEzyukDvNv5cFxIze$">Instructor video intro to course</a> (Instagram)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>This course grad/undergrad-level course explores intersectionality via contemporary (2020-2023) cultural battles over Critical Race Theory (CRT) and gender in schools, healthcare, the family, and in state and local government. Race and gender co-create one another, they are not static; rather, social, cultural, and political mechanisms constantly construct, reinforce, and perpetuate them. Students delve into race and gender as ever-moving political processes queering the debates surrounding CRT and gender, disrupting the fictitious distance between the two. Queerly we ask, how do racism and cissexism continue to shape the U.S. sociopolitical landscape?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Feel free to reach out with any questions.<br><br>Celine<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;background:white'><span style='font-family:"Uni Sans Book";color:gray;border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in'>Celine Waldmann (she/her)<br>Academic Counselor<br>Department of Gender, Women, & Sexuality Studies<br><a href="mailto:gwssadvs@uw.edu" target="_blank"><span style='color:blue'>gwssadvs@uw.edu</span></a> / <a href="https://gwss.washington.edu/" target="_blank"><span style='color:blue'>gwss.washington.edu</span></a></span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;background:white'><span style='font-family:"Uni Sans Book";color:black'><img border=0 width=31 height=31 style='width:.3229in;height:.3229in' id="m_-4574431703509061275m_-2460329872784951010Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.png@01D94781.BDEB2D80" alt=C5A96427></span><span style='font-family:"Uni Sans Book";color:gray;border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in;background:white'>Add GWSS on </span><span style='font-family:"Uni Sans Book";color:#201F1E;border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in'><a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.instagram.com/uwgwss/__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!htNDoU4ECTnGdtYgAoHnScMAtUVpvbMX-XpyzereazoSJiD_vpur5GjBRq--ClQUnvaqSsEYeqbGjC0$" target="_blank" title="https://www.instagram.com/uwgwss/"><span style='color:blue;background:white'>Instagram</span><span style='color:blue'>]</span></a></span><span style='font-family:"Uni Sans Book";color:gray;border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in;background:white'>!</span><span style='font-family:"Uni Sans Book";color:#201F1E;border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;background:white'><span style='font-family:"Uni Sans Book";color:#201F1E;border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in'><img border=0 width=133 height=77 style='width:1.3854in;height:.802in' id="Picture_x0020_2" src="cid:image002.jpg@01D94781.BDEB2D80"></span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
