STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES
- Explain gender as an intellectual frame of analysis that has significantly changed disciplinary paradigms across the academy, including their own primary fields, and thus become a crucial site of knowledge-construction in its own right;
- Participate in the cross-disciplinary conversations that informed gender analysis demands, culminating in a synthesizing capstone seminar that draws together upper division minors from a wide variety of fields to compare their respective intellectual paradigms in terms of gender theory; and
- Recognize the aesthetic and spiritual as well as academic dimensions of gender as a means of constructing meaning through experience.
