This course is a graduate course in feminist political thought, which uses the lens of feminist theory to explore and critique political thought, but it also examines the intersection of systems of inequality in the lives of women and the feminist project. It uses feminist theories to explore the complexity of patriarchy and the applicaiton of feminist theories to conceptions of equality and the dismantling of systems of discrimination and oppression. Students will engage with the literature of the field to develop their own critical lenses through which to explore feminist theories in their particular areas of research.
