WOMST 105 Introduction to Women’s Studies
Section A: MWF 10:30; Section D MWF 11:30--L. Thacker
This class is a broad, interdisciplinary introduction to feminist history, thought, and politics. The course will place responses to gender inequality in a historical framework that pays close attention to race, ethnicity, sexuality, and class. We will also read about and discuss contemporary feminist issues, and students will have the opportunity to do research about gender inequality in relationship to their own majors
WOMST 105 Introduction to Women’s Studies
Section B: MWF 11:30--T. Sarmiento
Gender, sexuality, and race structure all of our worlds. In this introductory course to the interdisciplinary field of Women’s Studies, we shall explore gender as a category of social, cultural, and political analysis as it intersects with other social formations, including sexuality, race, ethnicity, nationality, socioeconomic class, and ability. Primarily focusing on the US context, but in dialogue with the translocal and the global, we shall survey the herstories of the women’s movement, the parameters and possibilities of feminist inquiry, and feminism’s contributions to social change. We shall also analyze how power operates through gender in our contemporary moment, particularly engaging the site of popular culture. Together, these approaches to the study of gender as a social construct as well as an embodied positionality will not only allow students to recognize how knowledge production intimately circumscribes peoples lives but will also empower them to be a part of its undoing.
WOMST 105 Introduction to Women’s Studies
Section C: MWF 1:30; Section I MWF 2:30--Tushabe
This course introduces students to a wide range of issues, which include social, political, and legal issues pertaining to women’s lives and experiences in society and feminist movements worldwide. The course is interdisciplinary in its approach. It encourages students to see and think about the world around them in a matrix of connections and relationships, while examining and understanding the relevance of specific topics such as abortion, contraception, and sexual violence within a comparative and international framework to women, men and feminisms. Through assigned course texts and discussions students will learn and engage a feminist methodology of self-reflection, a narrative of one’s journey, that takes a big picture and the complexity of the connections and relationships that allow or impede a person to be in society for oneself, others and the world. We will follow closely the significance and meaning of gender and other categories in American culture and other societies. Additional resources such as films will be crucial to our discussion and critical thinking skills, philosophical meanings and implications of social identities.
WOMST 105 Introduction to Women’s Studies
Section E: TuTh 8:05; Section F: TU 9:30--G. Sabates
An introduction to the interdisciplinary field of feminist scholarship, which seeks to understand the creation and perpetuation of gender inequalities by examining historical, theoretical, and cross-cultural frameworks for the comparative study of women and gender. This course aims to sharpen students' critical awareness of how gender operates in institutional and cultural contexts and in their own lives. Particular attention will be paid to the intersections of race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, age, national origin, disability, culture, and movements for social change.
WOMST 105 Introduction to Women’s Studies
Section ZB: TuTh 5:30; --C. Borhani
In Introduction to Women's Studies we will explore what it means to be gendered and how gender must be understood in relation to race, class, sexuality, culture, ability, nationality and other identity markers. A majority of the material of this class will focus on women and gender issues within the United States of
Revised 12/2/2015

America, the ways in which feminists have analyzed and changed women’s positions in society, and the institutions and issues that currently affect women. This course aims to sharpen students’ critical awareness of how gender operates in institutional and cultural contexts as well as in their own lives.
WOMST 305 Fundamental of Women’s Studies
Section A: TuTh 1:05 –V. Padilla Carroll
This course will examine the origins of the Women’s Studies field and introduce core concepts, research methods and methodologies, and feminist theories. Student will engage in a variety of writings that reflect the discipline.
WOMST 405 Top/Resistance Movement & Social Change
Section A: MWF 1:30--A. Hubler
Women have been critically involved in demanding civil rights, achieving justice for indigenous people, challenging military dictatorships, working for economic justice, and demanding for women's liberation and freedom from violence. This course examines women’s resistance and movements against gender violence and discrimination in the context of colonialism, globalization, war, militarism, and occupation.
In addition to viewing films including Made in Dagenham (on union women) and Las Madres ( on the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo in Argenina), texts for the course include:
I, Rigoberta Menchu, by Rigoberta Menchu
At the Dark End of the Street: Black Women, Rape, and Resistance--A New History of the Civil Rights
Movement from Rosa Parks to the Rise of Black Power
A Woman Among the Warlords by Malalai Joya
The grade for the class will be based on a midterm, final, a paper (5-7 pages), attendance and participation.
WOMST 480 Women and Environmentalisms
Section A: TuTH 11:30 --V. Padilla Carroll
Because women have and continue to be an integral part of environmentalism in the US and globally, this course examines the philosophical and historical intersections among women, nature and environmentalist activism. By examining a variety of subjects including ecofeminism, deep ecology, voluntary simplicity, environmental justice, and sustainable living, this course examines how all forms of oppression and domination
– gender, race/ethnicity, economic, and environmental-are interconnected.
WOMST 500 Latin American Feminisms
Section A: TuTh 11:30;--G. Sabates
The many feminist movements in Latin America speak of a plurality of experiences lived by women in the continent. These movements have been nourished by social, economical, and political conditions that, interconnected, configured and channeled women’s activisms all over the continent. These movements were created and informed by diverse initiatives, and were characterized by complex and challenging social practices.
In this course, we will inquire about the connections among hierarchical systems based on class, race, ethnicity, national origin, and gender identity, as well as learn about these complex and fascinating social movements.
WOMST 510 Research Methods in Women’s Studies
Section A: MWF 9:30;--Tushabe
This course is designed to introduce students to feminist research methodologies, including resistant, indigenous, and decolonizing methodologies. The course will prepare students to critically analyze studies, develop research skills, and initiate future projects. We will examine the relationship between knowledge as a product of research, the researcher producing the knowledge, the subject of research, and the methods used.
Revised 12/2/2015

Throughout the course, we will connect class discussion to larger issues of women’s and gender studies as an institutional setting, and of emancipatory possibilities of approaches to research, while addressing the intersecting goals of teaching, research, writing and activism.
