Black Feminisms.

Catalog description

This course offers students frameworks for understanding Black feminisms as a field of study and political inquiry. Black feminisms highlight the intersections of race and gender oppression while interrogating capitalism, homophobia and transphobia, xenophobia, ableism, and other forms of suppression. This class will cover how Black feminists critically respond to issues of systemic discrimination in areas such as education, policing, and pop culture. Students will use Black feminist texts to interrogate interlocking systems of domination within the United States.
