Course Catalog Description:
Course explores a range of feminist theoretical perspectives, asking how theory develops both in response to earlier theoretical traditions and in the context of diverse forms of practice, starting from the assumptions that theories emerge from (rather than just being applied to) practice, and that theory-making is itself a form of practice.
Class Description:
What is theory? What is feminist theory? What does theory tell us about the world and our place in it? How do our experiences of race, class, gender, and sexuality create the possibility of theorizing difference and power? How have various feminist theories challenged some forms of oppression and yet been complicit with others? Feminist Thought and Theory is an intermediate level exploration of the major theoretical trends, debates, and politics of contemporary feminist analysis and critique. The course will address the historical role and continued relevance of feminist theory by tracking debates within the field and by applying "feminist thinking" to today's political and cultural conflicts. The course is fundamentally intersectional and interdisciplinary: It is intersectional in that it considers sex, gender, race, class, sexuality, nationality, ability, and other differences as deeply entwined with one another and central to both culture and politics. It is interdispciplinary in that it draws from multiple fields of study, including philosophy, ethnic studies, literature, political theory, law, history, sociology, and others. The course will work through feminist thought about epistemology/knowledge production, the role of experience in theory, identity politics, law and criminality, contemporary imperialism, corporeality, queer/trans/feminist debates, and feminist political agency. In doing so, the course will be a gateway for students interested in women's and gender studies, LGBT and queer studies, sexuality, cultural studies, and social justice struggles. As a ?Writing Intensive? course, Feminist Thought and Theory requires a semester-long major writing project that is distinct from other class assignments and that has a scheduled revision process. This major writing project is heavily weighted in students? final grades and is required to pass the course. In addition to the major writing project, the course requires weekly responses to study guide questions and a group project that examines in depth one of the weekly themes and guides class discussion of that theme. Student participation in class discussions is essential to success in this course, as is a willingness to read and grapple with theoretical writing.
