Section Info: Title: Gender Equality Topic: Work, suffrage, and sports in 20th Century America Topic: This course uses "Reacting to the Past" role-playing games to learn about contentious times and debates, first in Greenwich Village, New York where immigrants, artists, suffragists, and anarchists argued to create a new world and live as new women and new men. Then, we will move to a 1990s college campus where students, professors, alumni, and townies debate the meaning of the new Title IX law and the complicated relationships among sports, equality, and education in American society. Short readings, papers, speeches, role-playing, and fun!
