An examination of how we use places and spaces in our everyday lives to produce and maintain social differences of gender, sexuality, race, class, and citizenship. Drawing on perspectives from feminist geography and history, this course explores ideas about places (for example, homes) and spaces (for example, regions), as well as historical claims that women belong in place but men should control space. Students may not hold credit for both WOMN 2600 and WOMN 2540 with the topic "Sex, Gender, Space and Place." [3 credits]
