Criteria For Cross Listing Courses

Faculty, programs, or departments interested in cross-listing a course with Feminist and Gender Studies should submit a course description and/or syllabus with rationale of how the proposed course specifically meets the criteria for an FGS course. A FGS does one or more of the following:

Incorporates feminist critiques, perspectives, or theory. Courses using traditional texts or works should put these in dialogue with feminist perspectives that problematize them.
Examines how gender is affected by other systems of domination (e.g., class, religion, sexuality).
Critically examines cultural assumptions about gender, e.g., the gendered assumptions of traditional methodologies, theories, and research of particular disciplines.
Explores the production of different forms of knowledge, art, performance, literature, and so on, reflecting gendered experience of race, ethnicity, class, sexual orientation, etc.
Equips students to identify and critically analyze forms of resistance as well as systems of domination.
Focuses on providing information about women, their psychology, biology, roles, experiences, history, and contributions.
