How does feminist thought and activism from around the world help us recover visions for a fairer world? This course engages with feminist theory and praxis through multiple geographies, including North America, Latin America, Africa, Asia, and the former Soviet Union, amplifying the voices of those who have been erased in a US-centric understanding of feminism. Students will engage with feminist texts, films, and media through collaborative pedagogies. Hands-on assignments geared toward feminist action and engagement will develop students’ critical thinking, writing and public speaking competencies.
