Feminism and Contemporary Critical Theory

3 credits · Graduate

This course examines new directions in feminist theories focusing on US, Canadian, British, Third World/ postcolonial feminist theories of the 1980s and 1990s. We discuss the intersections among gender, class, race, sexuality, imperialism and ecology from a multidisciplinary perspective including law, society, politics, literature, culture, science and anthropology. We also look at critical articulations between feminisms and theories such as Marxism, postcolonialism, psychoanalysis and post-modernism. GNDR 799-(1-6) Independent Study
