No prior course work is required to take FS101, but a sincere commitment to understanding feminism and a willingness to undertake a demanding course are essential. Beyond the presumption that gender inequality is unjust, the course takes no single political perspective. A major goal is to train students in analytical skills that will help them think critically about gender in the past, the present, and the future. Additional units for public service internships are available through the Program in Feminist Studies during Winter or Spring quarters. Films are usually shown on Tuesdays, but they can also be viewed individually at the library.
Small groups meet at any time that all members can attend regularly.
Eugenia Delamotte et al., eds. Journal keeping is not required but greatly helps you produce this paper. Students must participate in all small group meetings to receive credit for the course.
