Outcomes

Analyze how women and gender are represented in visual culture. Explain gender as historically and socially constructed. Describe the experiences and contributions of women in the arts of the twentieth- and twenty-first centuries. Explain how ascribed differences are socially constructed, change over time, and impact our and others’ lived experiences. Articulate– using historical and contemporary examples – how ascribed differences, combined with inequitable distribution of power across cultural, economic, social, and/or political institutions, result in racism and intersect with other forms of systemic oppression. Describe how assets and resilience demonstrated by members of systematically marginalized communities and cultures play a role in dismantling racism and other systems of oppression. Interpret and engage in the Arts & Letters, making use of the creative process to enrich the quality of life. Critically analyze values and ethics within a range of human experience and expression to engage more fully in local and global issues.
