The Women's Studies Program endeavors to provide its students a platform that offers exposure to a variety of fields. The Program is constantly trying to update its courses to satisfy the changing needs of the society. We welcome new faculty teaching courses with an emphasis on Women's Studies, and we urge interested faculty to contact the director. Some recent additions to our lineup of courses appear below.
Studies in Gender and Diversity (WMST 391)
Instructor: Dr. Kimberly Brown
Department: English
Taught: Fall 2007, MWF 3:00-3:50 p.m.Black Feminist Thought is designed to introduce students to the major concepts, debates, and theoretical perspectives in the discipline of contemporary black feminist studies in the United States and in Africa . Using feminist theory, novels, poetry, documentaries, and feature-length films, we will interrogate the intersections of class, gender, sexuality, and race in the traditions of black feminist thought. Besides paying particular attention to the differences between second and third wave black feminisms, this course also focuses on themes such as beauty, black female sexuality, motherhood, male/female relationships, female friendships, religion, and violence against women. Throughout the course, special attention will be given to the ways in which black women combat and critique stereotypical constructions and images of black womanhood and how they define feminism in relation to prescribed notions of race and gender.
