Institution:

The College of Saint Scholastica

Subject:

Description:

4 cr. Explores how European imperialist accounts of non- European women's experience have been crucial to culturally dominant ideas about feminism, globalization, and the legacy of the colonial state throughout the so-called "third world." Beginning with a critical and historical overviewof feminist theory and practice, the course will trace recent studies,both historical and ethnographic, of how terms such as " women," "religion," and "the body"were radically changed by the colonial projects of the 19th century (e.g. in South Asia and Africa) - projects that are intimately related to contemporary debates on transnational women's movements and globalization.
