| Crosslisting:
ENGL 208 |
| Certificates: Social, Cultural, and Critical Theory |
| Course Cluster: Queer Studies |
How does "feminist" (a political commitment) modify "theory" (an intellectual practice)? We will address this question by reading a range of contemporary feminist theorists working to analyze the complex interrelations of social differences (gender, race, class, sexual orientation, religion, and so on), and relations of social domination and economic exploitation in a globalized world. The question, What is to be done? will oversee our work. |
