- Form judgments about the structure and causes of women’s roles in history from a global perspective.
- Assess theoretical approaches to gender studies as they are applied in various disciplines and theoretical “schools.”
- Analyze the ways that systems of dominance, such as sexism and racism, have functioned, have changed, and how they continue to change.
- Explain why gender difference is fundamental to the construction of identity and the organization of human relations.
- Connect ideas across disciplines, compare theories with experiences, and contrast different academic, psychological, and social perspectives on gender.
- Recognize how an awareness of women’s issues, women’s history, and women’s roles in society may positively affect the futures of transfer/graduate students (in all disciplines) and as professionals (in all professions).
- Form judgments about the significance of gender diversity and gender equity in local, national, and global arenas.
