Gender Studies 290EX - Experiential Learning

This course helps students explore gender theory, and the analysis of power more generally, in concrete "real-world" connections between academia, communities, scholarship, creative expression, and social action. In January, students will find placement at an organization, foundation, or business that incorporates a feminist, and/or queer focus. Class sessions provide cohort space to reflect on students' experiences at work. We will also focus on analyzing the institutional structures that characterize philanthropic organizations, also known as the "NGO-industrial complex". We will also practice how to respond to job ads, build a resumé, and prepare for job interviews.

Prereq: GNDST-101 and either GNDST-201 or GNDST-221.
