Sacred Lineages

Catalog description

This course traces the lineage of the women's spirituality movement and how it has intersected with the development of feminism, womanism, and ecofeminism. Course themes also include feminist transformations of patriarchal religions, sacred sexuality, reproductive justice, and women's spiritual leadership and activism. The central project in this course asks students to research their maternal lineage and place it within historical, political, and spiritual context. The development of a strong learning community is integral to this course. Students are expected to participate actively in both face-to-face and online modules; to take leadership in building community; and to show up fully for their peers during paired or small group activities.
