SO 370 Feminist Theory
(4 Credits)
This course closely examines feminist theories from an analytic and sociological viewpoint, including how feminist thinkers have conceptualized how and why women are positioned as they are in society and how these ideas have evolved over time and within particular sociopolitical contexts. Students examine the definitional and political issues inherent in “feminism” and what it has come to mean in society. The theories studied include liberal, Marxist, psychoanalytic, and radical feminism. Throughout the course, these theories are evaluated along the intersections of race, class, and sexual orientation.
Offered in even years.
Prerequisite: Sophomore standing or above.
