Introduction to Feminist Philosophy

4 credits · Undergraduate

This course is an introduction to key issues in feminist philosophy. The first part of the course focuses on building up a toolbox of important feminist concepts. In the second unit of the course, we will consider several major approaches to thinking about sex- and gender-based oppression. Finally, we will bring our knowledge of those approaches to bear on a number of special topics. Throughout the course, we will focus on the ways in which questions about the nature, status, rights, and abilities of women intersect with questions about race, class, sexuality, coloniality, and disability.
