WGSS 370 - Transnational Feminisms

Units: 3

Focuses on non-Western feminisms-their histories, practices, politics, theories, and the connections with Western feminisms that helped shape the transnational dynamics of feminist movements. Highlights relations among local, national, and regional feminisms and women’s movements; explores competing theories of gender relations and women’s rights and powers; and examines critically key debates about transnational activism, including how women differ, what interests and problems they share, the nature of agency, and the role of international institutions.
