Feminism aims to develop theories that interrogate the impetuses for and implications of power and dominance, especially that which results in oppression based on the inextricably linked lines of sexuality, race, gender, class, and other social, cultural, and political markers across time periods and geographical locations. Simultaneously, it is committed to developing critical practices designed to eradicate oppression, as well as to examine how various communities understand and resist, reject, and/or reproduce it. This course examines myriad feminist theories, including Black feminism, Transnational feminism, Xicanisma, Marxist feminism, and Ecofeminism, for example, which entails studying multi-, inter-, and transdisciplinary work developed in sociology, psychology, political science, anthropology, and economics, among other fields, as well as work developed outside of the academy.
