GWST 480 - Theories of Feminism (3)

This course examines significant debates in feminist social and political theory. The class will read major foundational and contemporary works. It takes an intersectional approach, focusing particularly on social constructions of race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, class, and sexuality. It draws on U.S. and transnational feminist sources to investigate causes and consequences of gender difference, hierarchies, and inequalities. Throughout the course, consideration is also given to the relationships between feminist theory and contemporary social justice movements. Recommended Preparation: GWST 100 and GWST 200.
