With this grounding in a variety of feminist discourses, students have the opportunity to explore contemporary women's rights issues in both local and global contexts. Topics include: the social construction of gender, race, class, sexualities, and disabilities in different cultures; women's sexualities and gender identities; health and reproductive issues; family structures; violence against women; the economics of women's labor, paid and unpaid; education, political activism and social justice.
