An interdisciplinary introductory course that explores how the intersections of gender, race, class, sexuality, and ability impact the normative roles and oppression(s) of women, queer, trans and non-binary people in our society and how they can be challenged through feminist critical practices. We will read feminist scholarship from the past and present to learn key concepts. Students will engage with immersive activities that allow for embodied learning experiences and then write and/or present them visually and textually.
