Art History 291 - COLQ: INTERSECTIONAL FEMINISMS

Students may take up to two semesters of ARH 291, “Topics in Art History,” as long as the topics are different: This course investigates feminist art practices in fine art, craft, and social movement imagery of the United States of America from 1900 to the present. We will approach our subject with an intersectional lens, meaning we will consider histories of gender as they are intertwined with other forms of identity such as race, class, sexuality, ability, and so on. The course culminates in an original research project on an object selected from collections of feminist art recently gifted to the Smith College Museum of Art. (E)
