Description:
What does it mean to be a girl today? What is “girl culture”? This course, an overview of the emerging field of “girls’ studies” employs an interdisciplinary, intersectional feminist lens to explore the construction and meaning of girlhood in contemporary American culture, and emphasizes the following themes: identity formation and development, socialization, education and equity, sexuality, body consciousness and self-esteem, media representation, consumerism, agency and activism, and cultural production.
