WGST 12A - Cultures and Ideas II Women in Transn'l Perspective

Institution:

Santa Clara University

Subject:

Women's and Gender Studies

Description:

This two-course sequence traces relationships among ideas, cultures, and traditions through an examination of gender through a transnational lens. Drawing on lectures, readings, and films, we will consider how women's lives from diverse global regions are shaped by the political, economic, and social structures that surround them. Areas of inquiry include perspectives on representation, globalization and displacement, citizenship and rights, bodies and sexuality, and environmental justice. In our exploration of issues pertaining to women across various cultural and geographic borders, we will be thinking critically about the relational differences and similarities among women, and about how international women's issues have been constructed in 'western' and postcolonial discourses.
