An exploration of the role of women as creators and the subjects of art in various traditions of Euro-America, East Asia and South/Southeast Asia. This course examines several dominant discourses of aesthetics and traditions of art-making and questions how gender ideologies operate to assign value and meaning to artists, artworks, genres, media and styles. Like all 300-level art history courses, this course is conducted as an advanced seminar with emphasis placed on individual research and advanced presentations. This course can also count toward the global studies program and the women’s and gender studies program.
