The course introduces the key issues in the contemporary discussion of gender as manifested in various cultural and critical practices. The course will be organized around a variety of topics which may include: body politics, subjectivity and sexuality, queer theory, the theoretical approaches to sexuality, the making of sexual identities, the relationship between sexuality and social institutions, and feminist theory. It will examine gender in the politics of personal identities, everyday activities, political participation, and social structures (language, media, education, religion, violence).

Course Name:
Digital Humanities
Credit Hours:
3.00
Detailed Syllabus:
The course explores the interrelation between humanities, humanities computing, and digital humanities. It will examine the potential of Digital Humanities (DH) as a discipline, and how it has extended and transformed the traditional humanities discipline. It will also offer deeper understanding of concepts, theories, debates, and terms related to digital humanities. This course introduces students to a wide variety of digital tools, theory, and practice of using computational methods in digital humanities. By reviewing some of key projects and initiatives in DH and selected digital tools, the students will work towards developing their own DH project throughout the term.
