POLI189R PO - Feminist Political ThoughtWhen Offered: Irregularly
Instructor(s): A. Campi
Credit: 1
In recent decades right-wing political actors and movements mainstreamed hostility to women and LGBTQ persons and were met by movements for gender and sexual freedom such as #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter. In this course we will read contemporary activists and thinkers, identifying questions for feminist politics, such as: how are our desires, agency, social and political relations shaped by cultural images, messages, and norms; and through what spaces and practices can we heal collectively? The course also considers sex, gender, and race in right-wing political culture in the US, and how political discourse on America’s longest war frames women’s equality in relation to the racially and sexually othered peoples of Iraq and Afghanistan.
