WGS 325 - Feminist Theories (Prerequisite: at least one WGS/WGST course) | |
|
This course explores the
diverse ways in which feminist theorists conceptualize women’s status in
society, systems of inequality and the category of “woman” itself. Students
will gain an understanding of evolving ideas and debates in feminist theory,
relate those to feminist practices, and develop their own theoretical
abilities. The course will address the social construction of gender, the
relation between feminist theory and activism, and how feminists have responded
to issues of race, class, gender, and sexuality in current feminist thinking, as
well as the classic feminist texts. Previously listed as WGST 350 or WGS 350 | |
