3.00 Credits
This course focuses on how international violence (militarization, war, genocide) rests upon gender, race, class, sexuality, and national power relations and representations. It also considers feminist forms of resistance to international violence, and how constructions of security enable the perpetration of violence from the domestic to the international. This class is the advanced-level equivalent to WGS 4043, with additional readings, assignments, and leadership roles for graduate students.
-
3.00 Credits
This course draws on feminist theory to explore how gender shapes migration and citizenship. Population movements worldwide are intricately connected to existing gender, labor, sexual, and family relations. Students will read a wide array of feminist analyses of migration from political science, sociology, and geography to anthropology, history, and literary/cultural studies to explore the ways gender organizes immigration. Students will also study discourse and (post)colonial theories to enhance existing structural analyses and to analyze the ways in which narratives of modernity, nationhood, and the West have paved the way for the construction of migrant subjectivities and communities. This class is the advanced-level equivalent to WGS 4044, with additional readings, assignments, and leadership roles for graduate students.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will enable students to compare and contrast the development, foci, and interactions of national feminisms in particular world regions. Although the region of the world under study can vary, this course will most often focus on countries in the North American region (Mexico, Canada, and the US), with comparative examples from other regions. The course will focus on how national and regional contexts shape feminist movements and how feminist movements shape national and regional politics. This class is the advanced-level equivalent to WGS 4045, with additional readings, assignments, and leadership roles for graduate students.
-
3.00 Credits
This course addresses feminist and women's transnational forms of organizing in various regions, including in the Americas, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and/or the European Union. It addresses how and why women have chosen to organize across national/geopolitical borders; the emergence of "women of color," global South, and anti-globalization networks; and women's transnational responses to various forms of inequality and injustice. The course necessarily interrogates the meaning of "transnationality," as well as notions of borders, identities, citizenship, and human rights in an increasingly globalized world. Specific regions to be included depend upon the instructor's area of expertise. This class is the advanced-level equivalent to WGS 4046, with additional readings, assignments, and leadership roles for graduate students.
-
3.00 Credits
This course analyzes the work of feminist political theorists who have critiqued the injustice of global frameworks and have re-imagined justice in a global frame. It will particularly consider feminist critiques of global feminism as a source of global injustice and the implications of this for thinking about feminism and global justice. This class is the advanced-level equivalent to WGS 4047, with additional readings, assignments, and leadership roles for graduate students.
-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course engages students in critical analysis of relationships between feminist theory and practice, combined with supervised experiences in community organizations or state/international agencies that are active on issues of gender and social justice.
-
