Each teaching participant will attempt to show how the methods of her discipline can help to discover different aspects of the world humanity has created for itself, largely through the use of this tripartite relationship. This class is open to all students and is required for MH Track II students. Readings cover influential writings from the last several decades representing different disciplines.
Contemporary debates are also explored in order to understand how key questions have changed.
Specifically we will ask how viable 'gender' remains as an analytic category when race, class, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, and historical moment are infused. Course content will enable students to evaluate critically the proliferation of gender-related literature from across disciplines and to analyze the effects of different social realities on lived lives. This class is open to all graduate students and is required for the Women's Studies Certificate. Professor Sonja K. Foss teaches a course designed to provide an introduction to the theories of social change offered by several feminist theorists. Featured will be theories by feminists who assume diverse perspectives on both feminism and social change, including Gloria Anzaldua, Mary Daly, Sally Miller Gearhart, bell hooks, Sonia Johnson, Cheris Kramarae, Starhawk, and Trinh Minh-ha.
