WGST 420 - Women & Gender Theory & Practice

3 Credits
This course will be an interdisciplinary exploration of the ways feminist theories can enhance a student’s understandings and appreciation of what it means to be women in contemporary culture. Feminist theory will be located within the general boundaries of traditional political theory (liberal, Marxist/socialist, radical for example) and, more specifically, within various disciplines and historical contexts in order to more fully understand the development of the arguments that now constitute contemporary feminist theories. These theories will be applied to a number of issues women face today including relationships, politics, spirituality, women’s health, and research approaches. Junior Standing recommended.
