Course description
This course aims to provide insights about the complexities of gender, sexuality, class, race and ethnicity, and culture in the context of gender studies. The focus is on the implications of emancipatory discourses such as feminism(s), decoloniality, Indigenous standpoint theory and epistemologies as ways of re-imagining our intersectional bodies and the worlds in which we live. The readings and assessment items foreground critical perspectives, personal narratives, non-Western and Indigenous voices to enable students to work back and forth between the personal and the political, and consider how such forms of inquiry can be used to enact visions of social justice and new critical spaces for understanding.
