This seminar is structured as a critical engagement of transnational feminism(s) in a global context. In this course, we will explore how neoliberal globalization, human rights discourses and an intersecting array of complexes — including those of a humanitarian, non-profit, and prison industrial variety - dually shape and constrain agitations for justice across national, political, and technological borders and boundaries. We will further track how and in what ways ideas about different feminism(s), women's, LGBTQ, transgender and human rights, and paradigms of justice travel across borders, shape systems of response, and promote and/or ameliorate the vulnerability and life opportunities of particular bodies located within particular geopolitical contexts.
