Latin American Feminisms

Catalog description

This course offers an interdisciplinary overview of Latin American feminisms from the 19th century to the present, focusing on the political, intellectual, and social movements led by women and feminist collectives. It will explore the political demands during the emerging republics, feminist struggles within proletarian movements, resistance to civic-military dictatorships, transnational expropriations, sexual dissident struggles, and the critical approaches linking class, sex, racialization, and gender as the focus of socio-political domination and exploitation. The course will also examine current challenges posed by the emergence of conservative far-right movements in the region. Students will be encouraged to develop their own proposals through scientific or creative research questions. This course is taught entirely in Spanish.
