Feminist Theory and Methods

3 Credits · Level: Graduate

This course will examine key texts in feminist theory and how they have shaped the historical study of gender and sexuality in the Middle East and beyond. We will focus on the topics, questions, sources and methods of various theoretical and analytical frameworks, including Marxist feminism, postcolonial and decolonial feminism, transnational feminism, intersectionality, queer theory, ecofeminism, and Islamic feminism. Students may write their final research paper on any region and time period as long as they apply feminist theory and methods.
