Feminism aims to seek justice for people and communities that are systematically and systemically marginalized based on gender, race, sexuality, class, and other social, cultural, and political markers. Along these lines, feminist theory tries to understand, explain, and interrogate power and dominance. This course, then, functions as the introduction to various feminist theories, as well as the philosophical, political, cultural, and practical considerations and commitments that are their foundations. As feminist theory is interdisciplinary, we will examine theorists from a variety of disciplines including, but not limited to, sociology, psychology, history, literature, political science, anthropology, and economics. Along these lines, we will undertake an examination of liberal, radical, socialist, psychoanalytic, and other feminist theories, as well as their bases in liberal, anarchist, socialist, and other traditions. Additionally, will also consider the ways in which feminist theory advances intellectual collaboration both within and outside of the academy.
