This course explores multiple perspectives on feminism and feminist theory. Students will study the histories of feminist theories and practices within a U.S. context. We will highlight the significance of post-colonial, women of color, and transnational theories and practices to U.S. feminisms. We will also trace the relationship between feminist scholarship and activism. This is an interdisciplinary course that brings together artistic work and humanities and social science perspectives.
