Are you interested in questions related to gender and cultural representation? Then C LIT 186B / SPAN 183B Gender in Basque Culture is the right fit for you. Using Basqe culture as a case study, in this course we will explore the way in which cultural artifacts reflect, influence, reveal, resist, and contest particular beliefs abut gender and sexuality.

The course is taught in English; no knowldge of Basque is required.
