    <p><strong>CSST 210 - Introduction to Critical Sexuality Studies</strong></p>
    <div><span><div>This course introduces students to the field of critical sexuality studies. Using an interdisciplinary approach, the course conducts a critical inquiry into the historical precedents and theoretical frameworks necessary to understand the role of sexuality in shaping personal, social, economic, and political life. The course focuses on patterns of subordination and exclusion based on individuals sexual practices and identities, explains the origins and persistence of those patterns, and considers ways of challenging them. Throughout the course, special attention will be given to intersections of sexuality with gender, race, ethnicity, religion, class, and disability.<br><br>

    <div><strong>CSST 220 - Introduction to Transgender Studies</strong></div>
    <div><strong><br></strong></div>
    <div>Drawing on historical and contemporary sources, this course is an introduction to and survey of the field of transgender studies with a particular emphasis on the intersection of the field with feminist and LGBTQ studies. While seeking to understand the emergence and varied lived experiences of transgender identities, the course also aims to teach students to think critically about the political, economic, ideological, and transnational lives of "transgender" as a concept.<strong> <em>**This class is cross-listed with GWST 220</em></strong>

    <div><strong><em><br></em></strong></div>
    <div><strong>CSST 300 - Methodologies in Gender, Women's, and Sexuality Studies</strong></div>
    <div><strong><br></strong></div>
    <div>This writing intensive seminar introduces students to the theory and practice of interdisciplinary research in the field of gender, women's, and sexuality studies. The course examines the distinguishing features of feminist methodologies that draw from the social sciences and the humanities. By reading and discussing examples of excellent and innovative research, students will become acquainted with the practical details, intellectual challenges, and the ethical dilemmas involved in doing research about women, gender, and sexuality. The course also explores the connections between research and community activism. <strong><em>**This class is cross-listed with GWST 300</em></strong>

    <div><strong><br></strong></div>
    <div><strong>CSST 345 - Unruly Bodies</strong></div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Drawing on feminist, queer, social, and critical race theory, this course examines the status of the body in both historical and contemporary debates about identity, representation, and politics. We tend to take the body for granted as the ground of experience and knowledge, but this course challenges that common sense, asking how the body is produced, managed, and deployed in a various ways to discipline and manage populations. We will also investigate the political possibilities of body work to resist and reshape these same disciplinary practices, paying particular attention to "queer" forms of embodiment. </div>

<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>For the first time in history, the Executive Office of the President (EOP) is launching an EOP-wide paid internship program that will provide a stipend to participants.</p>
    <p>The Office of Administration (OA) and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) are currently seeking students to serve as interns for their Summer 2022 programs.</p>
    <p><strong>The Office of Administration</strong> has a mission to provide administrative and business support services to all components within the EOP. These services include financial management, information technology support, human resources management, library and research assistance, facilities management, procurement, design and printing, mail and logistics, personnel and physical security, counterintelligence, emergency preparedness and enterprise communications, legal support services, and more.</p>
    <p><strong>The Office of Management and Budget </strong>oversees the implementation of the President's vision across the Executive Branch. OMB carries out its mission through five main functions across executive departments and agencies: 1) budget development and execution; 2) management, including oversight of agency performance, procurement, financial management, and information technology; 3) coordination and review of all significant Federal regulations from executive agencies; 4) clearance and coordination of legislative and other materials; and 5) clearance of Presidential Executive Orders and memoranda to agency heads prior to their issuance.</p>
    <p><strong>The Summer 2022 program for both OA and OMB will run from June 20, 2022 through August 12, 2022.</strong></p>
    <p>Students will be offered challenging and valuable experiences, which will build their leadership and professional skills. They will also be offered the unique opportunity to serve in the Federal government, alongside dedicated career and political public servants at the EOP.</p>
    <p>Attached is the OA and OMB Summer 2022 internship program announcement letter.<br><br>Interested students may apply at the following link: <a href="https://apply.whitehouse.gov/eop-internships" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://apply.whitehouse.gov/eop-internships</a></p>

    <p>Airwars is a not-for-profit transparency watchdog which tracks, assesses, archives and investigates civilian harm claims resulting primarily from explosive weapons use in conflict-affected nations including Iraq, Syria, Libya, Somalia and Yemen. We also work with militaries, where practicable, to help improve understanding of civilian harm with the aim of reducing battlefield casualties.</p>
    <p>Founded in 2014, we are today a leading authority on conflict violence as it affects civilian communities. Our international team has monitored more than 30 belligerents across six conflict countries and to date has tracked almost 60,000 locally alleged civilian deaths.</p>
    <p>Headquartered in the UK, Airwars is affiliated with the Department of Media and Communications at Goldsmiths, University of London. Our subsidiary organisation Airwars Stichting is registered as a not for profit in the Netherlands, which is also home to our satellite European office in Utrecht. Airwars staff and volunteers are variously based in the UK, Middle East, Europe and North America.</p>
