You will gain knowledge of the relevant theories on gender, race, ethnicity and sexuality, in the disciplinary fields of history, philosophy, literature, medicine, sociology and anthropology, and religious studies. You will develop a diverse perspective in discussions with students from other disciplines in the classroom. In assignments you are going to apply the knowledge achieved, to your own disciplinary field.
