First-Year Seminar: Feminist New York

Catalog description

Feminist New York introduces students to Pace University and the New York City campus from the perspective of womxn’s leadership and feminist activism in the city. Students will learn about historic and contemporary feminist visionaries, makers, artists, and activists who have impacted the city we know and love today. Together, we will study the histories of these change makers and consider how their experiences intersect with different movements for rights, equity, and justice. We will travel to the places and spaces associated with their work and dreams for the city, bearing witness to this critical history while creating a shared digital walking tour and archive for others to experience the city in new, exciting ways. As a First-Year Seminar, the course is designed to prepare and assist students in their academic and social development as they transition into Pace University life and as proud New Yorkers!
