Feminist scholarship emphasizing languages and processes of representation and the construction of difference in cultural discourses and institutions. Recommended pre-requisites: all of GRSJ 101, GRSJ 102. Restricted to GRSJ Majors and Minors in third-year standing or above.
Description: This course draws on interdisciplinary feminist scholarship with emphasis on the processes of representation. We explore the role and histories of language and discourse (to name a few) and how they enable and construct difference in everyday life and what role institutions play. Important to our course will be to consider some of the ruptures, tensions and shifts in feminist theories of representation and difference.
