Feminist Theory ((3 Credits))

Catalog description

This interdisciplinary course explores a selection of issues central to feminist theory, such as ideologies of woman and man, sexual politics, the political economy of patriarchy, the construction of knowledge, and the intersections of gender and sexuality, race, ethnicity, dis/ability, age, nationality, class, queer theory, and other aspects of social identity. We will examine the various strategies of feminist theorists and debates within the field of feminist scholarship. We will develop a strong theoretical base for the analysis of ideology, culture, and texts in order to take action as critical thinkers, and we will apply feminist theory to our daily lives. This course can be taken as one of the core courses in the Women's and Gender Studies Advanced Certificate. This course was previously LIB-640655.
