CHLT155 CH - Chicana Feminist Epistemology

We will learn about the Chicanas’ ways of knowing. We will work toward an understanding of the origins, development and current debates on Chicana feminism in the United States. Through the interdisciplinary study of Chicana writings, we will search for the different epistemologies Chicanas contribute to the debates on feminism and research methods. From the Marxist and Socialist scholars to the postmodern conceptualizations in cultural studies, Chicanas have struggled to conceptualize their identity, struggles, and their own construction of knowledge.
