GSWS 1100

Gender, Sexualities, and Women's Studies 1100 surveys historical marginalization on the basis of gender, the development of feminist thought and action since the late 18th century, and the rise of resistance and liberation movements dedicated to women, gender, and sexualities. Students will be introduced to feminist in order to explore the nature of patriarchal societies and the diverse ways in which activism has sought to challenge and redefine gendered experiences around the world. The course will emphasize intersectional and decolonial approaches to gender and feminist movements.
