WST 200W - Colloquium In Womens Studies

Institution:

University of Rochester

Subject:

Description:

The colloquium explores the diversity of feminist thought and practice in its importance in forming the intellectual grounding in Women's Studies, in its impact on a variety of disciplines, and in its articulation with lives and social practices. The course follows a three fold structure. First, we consider several major systems of feminist thought; second, through discussions and reading with guest faculty Associates of the Susan B. Anthony Institute, we consider the interdisciplinary methods that undergird these forms of feminist theory in a variety of academic disciplines. Third, in class discussions and writings we consider the experiences of women and men situated in diverse and changing cultural, economic, political, and psychological climates with an emphasis on student interest. The course will support and develop in students the ability to write intensively in Women's Studies as an inherently interdisciplinary field; it meets the upper-level writing requirement in Women's Studies for the college.
