Course Descriptions

GWST 2700: Critiquing Cultural Identity

INSTRUCTOR:  Rich Jones
This course provides historical, theoretical, and practical context for the cultural critique.  Historical anchor points will extend from the "pre-modern" to the contemporary; students will use critical, feminist, and queer theories as lenses through which to examine the "high" and "popular" culture; and students will self-reflexively apply cultural critique to lived experience.

GWST 2981: History of Feminist Thought

INSTRUCTOR:  Kathleen Ahearn

In this course, we will closely examine a number of foundational texts within the intellectual tradition of feminist thought ranging from early feminism through third wave feminism.  Our goal will be to discern a "telos" within these texts and to discuss the relevance of this intellectual tradition in contemporary settings.
