LIT 166 CM - Feminist Theory

This course will focus on a selection of theoretical perspectives that have informed feminist thought and movements. We will examine how various feminist “frameworks” have sought to explain oppressive social relations and have laid the groundwork for social change. We will begin with foundational texts from the history of Western feminism and will address the variety of approaches that emerged in the last decades of the 20th century and beginning of the 21st. Attention will be paid to ethnic, minority, international, and queer perspectives on feminism and gender theory.
