INTS 311 - Feminist Diversities:Cross-Cultural Women's Movements and Thoughts

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

This course surveys the diversity of women's movements: religious and secular, urban and rural, black and white, struggling for sexual and reproductive rights, political and social representation, and equal opportunities from North America to Asia. Using historical contrasts of different feminisms from the 19th century to the present we will interrogate the meaning of "feminism," the possibilities of a transnational "feminism" of similarity with difference, the place of cultural relativism in assessing other cultures and movements, and the challenge of women's movements to state and society. 1.00 units, Lecture
