Marxism Meets Feminism

4-None

For this course, we will dive into the works of one particular individual whose theorizations command center stage in Sociology: Karl Marx. Readings by Marxists and Marxist feminists will accompany his works, helping us expand on and consider positionality and biography in the production and negotiation of theory. With this feminist twist, this course asks you to consider the intersections of oppression as they proliferate in various forms of inequality related to class, race, gender, nation, and ability. At the heart of this course is the idea of difference, how difference enables alternative articulations of the world and one’s place in it.
