We’re highlighting our courses on the history of women and gender for Women’s History Month! Women and Gender during the Cold War, taught by Professor Katherine Pence, considers the way the politics of bipolar conflict between capitalism and communism affected women and ideologies of gender both in global affairs and everyday life. Students conduct research on relevant topics of their choosing, focusing on methodologies of gender history. Learn about their research at Baruch’s Reseach and Creative Inquiry Expo in May!
