Description:

This course will review and analyze experience and representation of African American women from a variety of feminist, psychological, and African-centered perspectives.

Class assignments (e.g., reaction, papers, group project.) will help students develop the skills necessary to communicate effectively and professionally, in both oral and written form, about these important issues.
