Class Description:
What are feminist critiques of justice? What is justice, to feminism and other social movements? What do we mean when we speak of racial justice, environmental justice, or disability justice? And how might literary genres, like science fiction, fantasy, and magical realism, allow us to think beyond present-day forms of justice? In GWSS 1005: Engaging Justice, we will examine "real world" examples as well as fictional ones in order to answer these questions and more.

U.S./cross-cultural studies of social movements/political organizing around justice/equality.
Class Description:
Are you interested in human rights? Curious about global women's movements? From violence against women to population management, from global international policy to grassroots organizing, from food security to development, and from war to peace, the concept of human rights has permeated not only the realm of global governance, but has also infused the language of civil society on both the local and international levels. Given the close relationship between international women's movements and the human rights paradigm, this course will examine the development and current application of international human rights through a critical feminist lens. By focusing on feminist approaches to and engagement with human rights discourse and practices, this course will introduce students to international social justice movements and strategies for political organizing that focus on questions of gender, race, class, and sexuality. Themes of the course will include: the history of human rights discourses and mechanisms; genealogies and practices of global women's movements; issues of international law, sovereignty, and global governance; the possibilities and challenges of ?women's rights are human rights?; and the potential of transnational feminist praxis. Using an interdisciplinary approach, this class will encourage students to critically analyze existing paradigms of inquiry and political action and will address alternative ways of engaging social justice, like intersectional analysis, collaborative knowledge production, and personal narrative. The course will demonstrate how the complex relationships between gender, race, class, sexuality and disability and other axes of identity require innovative approaches to both research and social organizing.

Class Description:
Engaging Justice: Farming and the Food Revolution The special topic of study for this semester is food, farming and the food revolution. Using this as our framework, we will focus on food justice by examining who does and does not benefit from our globalized food system and the effects of this system on our health, communities and environment. The food system will be explored from the intimacy of the alimentary canal to larger networks across race, class, gender, and geopolitical locations which set the table for who eats, who grows, who gains, and what matters.Through the lens of food justice we will explore "food deserts" and "food swamps", farming practices, water, food and land struggles, food-related epidemics, world hunger, farm worker rights, biopiracy and GMOs, We will also critically examine how normalized habits in U.S. are related to neocolonial culinary practices of meat and dairy consumption, MacDonadlization, and the corporately managed high fructose corn syrup trail. Finally, we will explore emerging food movement activism that challenges the dominant system and promotes the idea of alternative food systems supporting a new ethics of eating and new forms of community empowerment.

U.S./cross-cultural studies of social movements/political organizing around justice/equality.
Class Description:
This course provides an interdisciplinary overview of how feminists have conceptualized, theorized, and critiqued ethics in relation to the politics of difference. Included in these are the ethics of care, reconciliation, forgiveness, and community restoration. We consider communicative understandings justice and politics that have roots outside of Western liberalism. Engaging Justice requires students to think about questions of fairness and justice with close attention paid to how social location, identity formation, and gendered hierarchies of difference inform politics and ethics. For example, we consider how women of color have developed oppositional discourses to challenge human rights abuses, environmental degradation, the legal vulnerability of non-citizens, and the abuse and denigration of sexual minorities across the globe. We also consider how feminists and queer people of color engage the politics of belonging, homemaking, and border-crossings, emphasizing how multiple, conflicting, and diverse human subjectivities inform diverse social and political practices. This course fulfills the liberal education requirement for diversity and civil life and ethics.
