WST 410 - Feminist Theory

Institution:

University of Maine at Machias

Subject:

Description:

This course is intended to increase students' awareness of the multiplicity of feminist theories, develop students' ability to critically examine theoretical assumptions and to synthesize and assess theoretical arguments, and increase students' awareness of how such gender theories relate to their lives. Students gain the conceptual and theoretical tools to begin to identify and assess a variety of theoretical positions that currently call themselves 'feminist' and appreciate the interconnections of philosophical theories and practices. Through reading both classic and contemporary selections of feminist and non-feminist thinking about women, men, and society, students engage with some of the central problems within feminist theory.
