Sexuality Wmn's & Gndr Studies 200 - Feminist Theory

In this course we will investigate contemporary feminist thought from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. We will focus on key issues in feminist theory, such as the sex/gender debate, sexual desire and the body, the political economy of gender, the creation of the "queer" as subject, and the construction of masculinity, among others. This course aims also to think through the ways in which these concerns intersect with issues of race, class, the environment and the nation.

Open to first-year students who have taken SWAG 100 and upper-class students. Spring semester. Professor Shandilya.
