PSC 372 - Feminist Political Thought (3 cr.)

Gender plays a role in structuring all politics and political ideas, whether we recognize it or not. To examine this notion, this course engages feminist theory about the fundamental questions of political life: what is politics?; how does power operate?; what are possibilities for political change? Students in the course will examine feminist responses to the history of Western political thought, theories of the state, analyses of resistance and liberation, and accounts of diversity and difference.
