WGST 3240 - Transnational Feminisms

5 credit hours
What is “transnational feminism”? The course will begin with defining and critically analyzing both “transnational” and “feminism” before exploring the global history of transnational feminist organizing. The course will draw from recent theoretical works on transnational feminism and from primary sources related to transnational feminist organizing from the 1850s to the 2020s. We will analyze how the goals and mechanisms of transnational feminist organizing have changed over time and in relation to world region.
