Description:

GSS Feminist Philosophy: Approaches to Cultural Constructions of Sexuality and Gender This course examines a variety of feminist philosophical approaches to issues surrounding modern culture's production of images of sexuality and gender. Readings from Simone de Beauvoir, Christine Delphy, Luce Irigaray, Sarah Kofman, and Annie Leclerc, among others, cover a diverse range of feminist theoretical frameworks- liberal, socialist, radical, psychoanalytic, and postmodern. However, this is primarily an "applied" philosophy course rather than a coursefocusing on theory. Many issues are explored, among them the cultural enforcement of both feminine and masculine gender identities, the urban environment and women's sense of space, the intersection of feminism and environmen- talism, and feminist perspectives of different ethnic groups.
