Motivation to Teach Social Action:
I am interested in revising my current classes in both Gender Studies, and Social inequality to better reflect the contemporary climate with a greater emphasis on social justice.
Course Description:
This course uses feminist theory to examine gender and global violence. It will examine how race, gender, sexual orientation, globalization, war and religious affiliation impact violence against women in South Asia, South Africa, and the Middle-East. Students will develop an understanding of gendered violence in a global context with an emphasis on cultural sensitivity. This class uses the frameworks of transnational feminism and intersectionality.
