HUM325 Gender Identity and the F-Word(feminism) 3cr

What does it mean to call oneself (or someone else) a ‘feminist’? How does gender intersect with other social hierarchies to shape both how we see, and how we are seen by, others? In this advanced undergraduate elective, we will consider efforts to reveal, unravel, and remedy the conceptual, psychological, and economic dimensions of gender oppression. We will examine the intersection of sexism with racism, heterosexism, and class exploitation, and investigate the role of the concept of difference in creating and maintaining structural inequalities.
