Guidelines for Cross-Listing Courses

Print

 A course is generally considered eligible for cross-listing if it meets one or more of the following criteria:

• It focuses largely or primarily on the roles, contributions, and/or representations of women or QLGBT people and cultures and offers critical frameworks for analyzing these roles, contributions and representations.
• It uses gender analysis and/or the critical study of sexuality as the primary approach to understanding a topic, an idea, a set of texts, an historical event, a social or political phenomenon, etc.
• Whether it focuses on authors, issues, regions, historical periods, theories, philosophies or genres, it interweaves analyses of gender and sexuality with questions/issues of race, class, nation, globalization, disability, religion or other relevant discourses;
• Its critical framework is based primarily on theoretical works in feminism, gender studies, sexuality studies or other critical approaches that foreground the categories named above.

Please submit a course proposal or description and a list of course readings to the chair of Gender and Sexuality Studies for consideration by the GSS curriculum committee.  If it is not evident from the description how your course fulfills the criteria above, please include a brief explanation.
