GWS 100AC - WOMEN IN AMERICAN CULTURE, CN 13096, online synchronous, session D, Prof. Brooke Lober, LEC MWF 12-230

NOTE: This course satisfies the AC requirement as well as an elective requirement for the GWS major, minor, and QTP minor.

During this summer session, through six weeks of intensive study, we explore the visions of freedom and justice that those committed to transformative praxis provide under the banner of “women,” changing the meaning of the term through practice. We focus on women of color feminisms and their frameworks for social justice, with substantial emphasis on gender-based violence, policing and prisons, and imperial war–countered with feminist antiviolence frameworks that offer understanding of and response to the imbrication of all these in women’s daily lives.
