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.

Racism is a hot-button issue globally. Although thoroughly debunked and are more widely condemned than ever, it nevertheless continues to surface in government policies, popular representations, and brutal acts of violence. What is it that makes racism so intractable? This course works to answer that question by analyzing racism as a problem that's deeply embedded in Western societies, albeit similarly prevalent in many non-Western countries. We'll also look at how racism connects with other social categories such as indigeneity, gender, sexuality, disability, religion and class. And in addition to considering how racism has operated to oppress, exclude and scapegoat, we'll also be attentive to how marginalized groups have fought back.
