POS 376 Feminist Theory

This course is designed as an introduction to feminist theory, a sub-field of political theory. Feminist theory regards gender as a central category of power, but there is little else that can be claimed on behalf of some monolithic "feminist" perspective. We will thus master the similarities and differences among liberal feminism, radical feminism, Marxist and socialist feminism, psychoanalytic feminism, postmodern feminism, and women of color feminism. Fulfills writing-intensive requirement. Prerequisite: POS 142
