WOM STD 2051 - Critical Race Theory and Feminist Implications

Institution:

Temple University

Subject:

Description:

Building from the ground breaking critical race theory texts that emerged within legal academia during the early 1990's this course will consider the historical underpinnings of this literature and its implications for future feminist theory and practice. The course will investigate the limits of liberal legal remedies in addressing the severe social realities faced by many women of color. We will pay particular attention to the persistence of structural, institutional and everyday racism despite the rejection of race as a viable biological concept with regards to the human species. The experiences of women and men, and sexual identity will be discussed alongside feminist theories of intersectionality. The course will consider how core concepts from critical race theory are deployed within transnational feminist thought and activism.
