SUMMER 2026 GRADUATE CERTIFICATE COURSES
Jeff Brown | 6W1 5/18/2026 - 6/26/2026 | ONLINE
Description:
Radhika Gajjala | 6W1 5/18/2026 - 6/26/2026 | ONLINE
Description: This graduate level seminar will glance back briefly at second-wave feminism and then move forward to more recent feminist theory and its applications in fields ranging from, but not necessarily limited to, language, literature, film, religion, philosophy, history, psychoanalysis, psychology, health, and politics. We will work to establish a clear understanding of contemporary feminist methodologies and theoretical approaches, and we will pay close attention to the ways in which feminist thinkers have critiqued and changed traditional academic disciplines, as well as the new bodies of thought (e.g., queer theory, feminist disability studies, affect studies, etc.) that have emerged from these critiques. Our primary focus will be on feminist thought since the 1990s, with a particular emphasis on work published in the last decade. Required for the Women’s Studies Graduate Certificate.
