This course provides an overview of the historical roots and contemporary developments in feminist theory. We analyze a range of feminist theories, including liberal, Marxist, radical, and postmodern feminism. The course explores how feminist theory applies to a number of themes, including the body, sexuality, imperialism, globalization, and transnationalism. Throughout the course we address race, class, national, and cultural differences in feminist theory.
