Women,Gender,Sexuality Studies 701 - Genealogies/Feminist Thought

This graduate seminar in feminist theory constitutes a core course for students enrolled in the Graduate Certificate in Advanced Feminist Studies. The seminar will be organized around questions that emerge for feminisms from the rubrics of gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, transnationalism, human rights, economics and postcolonialism. Feminist theory is inherently interdisciplinary and we will draw on classic and contemporary writings from the many fields that contribute to the "field" of feminist theory.

This is a required course for students enrolled in the Graduate Certificate in Feminist Studies and was previously numbered 791B (Feminist Theory). If you've taken 791B, you should not sign up for this course. This course is only offered in the FALL semester. Contact lindah@umass.edu if you are enrolled as a certificate student and need to be added to the course.
