Sex, Gender, and Power in Modern China
Course Description
This course investigates how sex and gender are deeply embedded in culture and entwined with power relations. We take an interdisciplinary approach and ask how gender and sexuality have emerged as a privileged modality of modern identity and an important site of social and political struggles in 20th-century China and beyond. Topics include women's "pollution," cross-dressing, free love, state feminism, and the LGBTQ movement.
