Women,Gender,Sexuality Studies 392X - S-Feminist Care Praxis

With Feminist Care Praxis, we explore how feminists, queer studies scholars, and others theorize and practice care. Embracing the term "praxis", which denotes the blending of theory and practice, this course examines these questions simultaneously. Drawing on interdisciplinary scholarship and the expertise of varied practitioners, it will not only immerse students within scholarship on subjects such as care and mutual aid and familiarize them with grassroots activism and projects, but also provide students will a range of practical skills they can use in their own lives and communities. Structured by the developmental life cycle, examples of themes and topics covered include reproductive health self-care, herbalism, models of care beyond the healthcare system, practical environmental stewardship, and street medics.
