Students will discuss and analyze key theories and concepts from the field of Ethnic Studies, including Critical Race Theory (CRT), coloniality, migration, double-consciousness, colorblind racism, and the "Wages of Whiteness," among other topics, to grant students conceptual tools for the discussion of race, ethnicity, and gender in U.S. society as it relates to feminist and queer experiences within communities of color. Through an intersectional analysis, students will interrogate the unique challenges of the inter and intra relationships of women of color with feminism and queer studies, both locally and globally. Though feminism has elevated itself to a theoretical status for quite some time now, anti-racist feminism continues to simply serve as a marginal sub-theme. This course seeks to center feminists of color and queer feminists of color from marginalized considerations in other fields of study. The class will expand one's understanding of what it means to be a woman of color in African American/Black, American Indian/Indigenous, Asian American and Asian Pacific Islander, Chicanx/Xicanx, and Latinx communities. Feminism is not a unified (nor unifying) phenomenon. It has its own contradictions, and this course is both a necessary intellectual and political task that will emphasize and highlight contributions from African American/Black, American Indian/Indigenous, Asian American and Asian Pacific Islander, Chicanx/Xicanx, and Latinx women of color.Usually HeldMon Wed 9:35am–11:00am, Thu 9:35am–11:00am
