Critical Social Inquiry 0239 - Feminism and Its Discontents (A Division II Supported Project Seminar)

Are you critical of the limits of white feminism? Eager to analyze the imperial feminism of a novel, film, or game? Perhaps, produce a script for a podcast series or a YouTube video essay from a postcolonial feminist perspective? This course provides a supportive, structured, and collaborative environment for students to pursue their own intersectional feminist research project. We will read scholarly works that offer historical and contemporary perspectives on feminism.

The seminar will provide intellectual community and productive feedback at all research stages. Final projects will consist of a research abstract, an annotated bibliography, a detailed outline, a rough draft, and a completed script or paper. Students will give a short presentation on their research at the end of the semester.
