Feminist Theories
FGSS 209
Fall 2013
| Section:
01
|
| Certificates: Social, Cultural, and Critical Theory |
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 relations of social differentiation and economic exploitation in our globalized world. The question What is to be done? will oversee our work. |
