Cross-Cultural, Gender-Oriented and/or DEIJ Focused
For present purposes, a cross-cultural course is defined as one that explores literary or artistic expression across national or ethnic boundaries, or that of two or more cultures living in proximity, or that of a diaspora culture living in several nations, or that of a racial or ethnic minority living in a particular nation. A gender-oriented course is one that comprises its content by gender, or makes gender experience or gender relations a principal (though not necessarily exclusive) focus of its subject matter.
