Description and Goals

Drawing on materials and methodologies from a variety of disciplines, this class explores the diverse experiences of women in past eras and in the present, and in the U.S. and abroad. The Honors section of this course will additionally examine critical theories of sex/gender, and contemporary feminism, including queer theory, intersectionality, and transnational feminism. Among the many texts we will use for the course are included the seminal anthology This Bridge Called My Back by Cherrie Moraga & Gloria Anzaldúa and Black Feminist Thought by Patricia Hill Collins.
