HS 148 Introduction to Feminisms (Fall/Spring: 3)

Prerequisite: Any two semesters of HS 001 through HS 094
Cross Listed with EN 125, PS 125, SC 225
This class will introduce students to terms and concepts that ground feminist theory and gender analysis, to a range of issues that intersect with gender in various ways (e.g., nationalism and post colonialism, health, labor, sexuality, race, family), and to some classic texts in Women's Studies. It will also combine a brief historical overview of the development of first, second, and third wave women's movements, with an examination of their critiques by women of color. Finally, we will follow selected stories in the news that bear on the themes of the course.
