The Gender and Society microcredential allows learners to gain relevant skills and competencies surrounding contemporary issues of gender, sexuality and women’s studies in both a local and global context. Students will gain nuanced, interdisciplinary understandings of various concepts through several fields including but not limited to Anthropology, Political Science, Sociology, History, Criminal Justice, English, Philosophy, Legal Studies and Psychology. Students will be able to analyze current social and political issues about sex and gender through a contemporary lens in order to develop critical thinking skills to address issues of inequity and oppression. Through this badge pathway, students will be able to identify social problems across institutions (such as education, the family, politics and medicine, among others) and apply new knowledge to one’s own context and setting.
To complete the badge, students must take any two classes from the following list with at least two different disciplinary prefixes represented:
