WGS 375: Transnational Feminisms (Behavioral, Social or Cultural Perspectives, Gender, Global) | |
|
“Global
feminisms” refers to the growing transnational network of movements and
organizations working on behalf of women at many levels of civil and state
society, from grassroots organizing to global governance, together with a
growing body of writing and research on women’s status, gender oppression, and
priorities for change around the world. This course’s purpose is to prepare
students, as world citizens, to participate in this network by exposing them not
only to issues and movements but also to the conceptual, methodological, and
affective challenges of building solidarity across a vast range of
differences—differences in identity, locale, worldview, focus, strategy, and
standpoint in relation to global systems of power. This course may be repeated
for credit, as topic changes. Previously listed as WGST 375 | |
