What is the transnational, and why is it such an important area of study today? In this course, we will explore the term in relation to feminist theories and activisms, focusing particularly on the following aspects: - distinctions among the transnational, the international, and the global - the advantages and challenges of transnational activism - universal rights versus cultural particularity - resisting and participating in hegemonic feminism(s) - the role of the UN and other organizations Over the course of the semester, we will learn to navigate the complex terrain of agency and resistance, local and global processes, and critiques of power and violence.
