This course will analyze the dynamics of feminist activism in the Americas and other world regions from the mid-20th century to the present day. Interrogating the still popular notion that feminism occurs in "waves," our comparative, historical and ethnographic examination of feminist politics will enable us to theorize continuities, fissures, capillarities, and emergences.
