WOMS 214 - Intersectional Feminisms

Institution:

University of Delaware

Subject:

Womens Studies

Description:

Unpacking the role that white feminism has played in dictating the universal, essential woman, this course interrogates the intersectional frameworks and knowledges produced by women of color that embrace and complicate established feminist frameworks. This course addresses the inter and intra relationship of women of color with feminism, locally and globally. Using both a theoretical and applied approach, we will analyze how historical and contemporary realities of women of color are influenced by a legacy of structural inequalities. The approach to this course will pay particular attention to sociological aspects of identity as well as cultural representations that are manifestations of systems of oppression. Finally, the course moves beyond intersectionality as "identity politics" and examines the ways in which power is deployed through interlocking systems of oppression including white supremacy, patriarchy, and advanced capitalism.
