PHIL 378 - Feminist Philosophy

Institution:

Sonoma State University

Subject:

Description:

This course is an introduction to feminist philosophy. In this class, we will see how the meaning of concepts such as the body, identity, gender, sexuality, and race have changed throughout the past two centuries by looking at central debates within feminist thought. Questions may include: How is it that we come to expect behavior, appearance, and actions to be essentially gendered? What are the implications of gender for how we understand sexuality and race? Where can we find resources for changing such expectations? How do we decide when such transformation is necessary and worth pursuing?
