POLS 202 Gender and American Politics

This course examines how gender influences who participates in the American political process, from voting to campaigning and holding elected office. The course also examines how public policies are gendered in their design, implementation, and outcomes. The course adopts an intersectional approach, asking how gender interacts with other identities, including race, class, ethnicity, sexual, and disability, to fully understand how ideas about masculinity and femininity shapes access to political power in American society.
