Topic: "Women of Color/Native Feminisms." Meets with AAS 490 and GWS 495. This course will examine the scholarship of Women of Color Feminism and Native Feminism, which includes various feminist theories, perspectives, and politics that have emerged from and alongside Ethnic Studies and Indigenous Studies. This scholarship will explore 1) how and why the privileged subject of rights-based struggles for people of color has been heterosexual and male, 2) "the cultural defense" as used by the US legal system and international women's rights campaigns, and 3) the ethical dilemmas and political difficulties involved in organizing through difference. Readings will be drawn from a variety of disciplines, such as literary criticism, critical legal studies, and sociocultural anthropology as well as the interdisciplines of Queer Studies, Gender and Women's Studies, Ethnic Studies, and American Studies.
