About GENS 245A
General Studies 245A, or Critical and Alternative
Voices, is a one-semester extension of the first-year Encounters program.
Calling into question the “dominance” of traditional western world
views, the course asks that students examine the historical and ideological
roles of “others” and listen to the voices of these
“others” in their own contexts. These voices may be geographically
“non-western”, or subordinated within western culture by virtue of
race, gender, or class. The course will make connections to contemporary
issues, and students are encouraged to think critically about their own social
location.
GENS 245A meets Tuesdays and Thursdays, 1-2:20,
room TBA
Classes begin Tuesday, 31 August – check
