“Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Gender”

"This class aims to give Bi-Co students a chance to explore the intersection of gender, sexuality, race, class, religion, and embodiment in our time. Our focus is principally on the USA, though we make some forays into international conversations. We work to bring the personal into the classroom, and to take what we learn out into the world."— Visiting Assistant Professor of Writing and Coordinator of Gender and Sexuality Studies Anne Balay.

Our Cool Classes blog series highlights interesting, unusual, and unique courses that enrich the Haverford College experience.
