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
