Feminist Theory (Juniors & Seniors only) Dr. Elizabeth Uy Eviota | Tues 5:00 pm – 8:00 pm; CTC 106 Feminist Theory starts from the position that women as a social group are subordinated and that it is necessary to explain this subordination in order that women can be liberated from it.

There are fundamental disagreements about the causes of that subordination and therefore of the strategies for achieving liberation. This survey course deals with the major theoretical perspectives of feminism; the interconnections between specific recommendations for change and their theoretical presuppositions; and how feminist knowledge is produced. The course also discusses contemporary challenges facing the feminist movement, especially, neoliberal capitalism and imperialist wars. |
