Gender Studies Core Electives
Core Electives build upon Gender Studies required courses by inviting deeper exploration of topics, theories, and methods rooted in the critical study of gender and/or sexuality. Core elective courses are taught by professors across many departments who are concurrent, affiliated, or adjunct faculty in Gender Studies.
Each GS Core Elective includes the culturally and historically situated study of power, identity, and/or representation, with a central focus on gender and/or sexuality. These courses engage feminist, queer, and/or trans theories and methodologies from the interdisciplinary field of gender studies and other disciplines.
Core Elective courses are vetted and approved by the Gender Studies Steering Committee. Faculty who wish for one of their courses to be considered as a Core Elective should contact Director of Undergraduate Studies Pam Butler (pbutler1@nd.edu).
