  • Philosophy 367: I.F eminist Postcolonial Theory

    4.00 Credits
    St Lawrence University

    Postcolonial theory addresses issues of identity, culture, literature and history arising from the social context of colonization, resistance to colonization, liberation from colonization and the formation of new nations. It crosses the boundaries of the social sciences and humanities in its approach to theory and analysis of the discourses used to constitute colonial and postcolonial subjects. We begin with some classic texts of postcolonial theory before moving to a focus on specifically feminist debates and texts within postcolonial studies. Literature and film are used in dialog with theoretical texts to examine questions about gender and women's issues in various societies. Also offered as English 367, Gender Studies 367 and Global Studies 367.

To foster appreciation for the methods of science, naked-eye observations are required of each student and attention is given to Western culture's slow path toward understanding the cosmos and our place within it. Physics 102 is taught in the studio format where lectures are combined with laboratory experiences fostering interaction among the students and instructor.
