HIS 391 Women and War

This course will analyze military conflict from the perspective of gender. The experience of women will be the focus of the course, but the course will also examine how gendered concepts related to being male and female play a role in the making of war. Students will analyze the effects of war on women’s status and will examine the impact of war on gender roles and the relationship between men and women. Course content will be drawn from major world conflicts, including WWI and WWII, as well as post-World War II regional and national conflicts. This course is cross-listed as WGS 340.
