Feminisms, Intersectionality and Social Justice: Histories, Debates, Futures

Course #: WGS 347

Description:
Students critically engage a sampling of key works, some classic and some 'hot off the presses,' that explore feminist thinking about a variety of topics, as well as the ways that feminist theorists construct and complicate analyses of power, privilege, and oppression. The aim is to train students to grapple with a range of concepts and frameworks that inspire and inform feminist research and activism. Throughout the course, we engage the burgeoning critical scholarly discussion of 'intersectionality'-at once a lens, a framework, and a core concept-which has gained increasing prominence in feminist discourse and requires careful consideration. The course is structured around broad themes through which gender is complicated by multiple axes of identity-race, culture, social class, and sexual orientation.
