Diversity Politics and the Arts: Gender Perspectives
In the “Diversity Politics and the Arts: Gender Perspectives”, minor students explore diversity in the arts from the perspective of gender and sexuality. They learn to think about the intersectional overlap with categories such as race, religion, age, and class. The minor critically explores the political dimensions of the body. Students develop an informed perspective of societal perceptions and norms. Moreover, they learn about the multifaceted nature of gender and how to apply this knowledge in their own artistic practice by asking questions such as: How do I refrain from (re)producing essentialist clichés? What role do the body and the performative realm play? They explore these questions in artistic projects.
