Women Writing Culture

Catalog description

This course seeks to place feminist research and women’s writing center stage. We will explore through theory and practice how, for whom, and to what end cultural representations have been presented in written form. We will interrogate the processes behind producing ethnographic and other nonfiction writing, looking at methods, as well as ethical considerations. Guided by recent decolonial feminist scholarship and queer of color critique, our aim will be to build on a variety of anti-oppressive methodologies such as research-based performed ethnographies, digital storytelling, and other forms.
