Description

Addresses both general concerns and principles of Australian feminism and their application to a sample of specific issues involving personal and public life. Sets current feminist demands within the social context of past failures and achievements. Feminist questions provide the opportunity to examine the basis of conventional ethics and social responsibility. The feminist influence on academic discourse is also examined. Changes in subject content and tools of analysis will be explored. Students will be encouraged to examine their own educational experiences from a feminist perspective in order to extend their critical analysis skills.

Note: Offered by the School of Sociology and Anthropology.
