ENG-313 Sex and Power in the Middle Ages

This course examines the intersection of sex, gender, and power in the Middle Ages. Our key concerns will be the representation of gender and sexuality across medieval texts, the relationship between secular and religious life, and the ways in which medieval gender existed on a scale or continuum rather than a strict binary. This course also counts as part of the WGS minor.
