Gender Studies 221A - Tpc: Intro to Feminist Theory

This course is designed to introduce students to important political questions in the field of feminist theory. We will begin the course by attending to the distinction between sex and gender and its relevance to feminism yesterday and today, exploring ways that the intersex movement, queer theory, and other gender politics complicate feminist concerns. In addition, we will explore the development of popular feminist ideas, such as women's rights, reproductive freedom, and agency.

Course limited to sophomores, juniors and seniors
