Description
Subject Area: Women's and Gender Studies
This course can also be studied in the following specialisation: History
This course considers both feminist attempts to organise globally across racial, ethnic and national boundaries, and differences in feminist strategies and visions for the future. You will trace the emergence and continuation of two competing traditions – reform and revolution – from anarchist women’s activists through to contemporary transnational and postcolonial feminisms. You will also examine recent feminist activity that has garnered global attention and controversy, such as Islamic feminism and Pussy Riot. Throughout we highlight ongoing critiques of the universalist claims of some forms of feminism, including Indigenous and intersectional critiques.
