Institution:

Vassar College

Subject:

Description:

(Same as Women's Studies 321b) How do feminist politics inform how research, pedagogy, and social action are approached Can feminist anti-racist praxis and insights into issues of race, power and knowledge, interersecting inequalities, and human agency change the way we understand and represent the social world We discuss several qualitative approaches used by feminists to document the social world (e.g. ethnography, discourse analysis, oral history). Additionally, we explore and engage with contemplative practices such as mediation, movement, and creative-visualization. Our goal is to develop an understanding of the relationship between power, knowledge and action and to collectively envision healing forms of critical social inquiry. Ms. Carruyo.
