300-400 LEVEL COURSES 452 - Feminist Theory

Institution:

University of Massachusetts-Boston

Subject:

Description:

Feminist political theory is the study of gender inequality. This course offers a critical engagement with both halves of this subject area: first, the course examines the character, extent, and legitimacy of gender inequality, an investigation that will necessarily take into account the important permutations of gender inequality by race, class, sexuality, nationality, citizenship, and immigrant status. Second, the course will interrogate gender itself, calling the terms man and woman into question. Overall, the course will remain concerned with politics and thus continually consider the practical applications of these ideas in such areas as the body, marriage, parenting, family, labor, crime, violence, and war.
