Description: We live in an ever increasingly globalized world; this course introduces transnational and Indigenous feminist gazes which are important to understand and engage with as we critique and understand gendered experiences cross-culturally. Each week focuses on feminism in a particular (regional, religious, gender, or online) community. The course delves into discourses on ethnocentrism, Islamophobia, orientalism, intersectionality, globalization, representation, and solidarity.
