Seminar in Gender Studies: Race, Gender, Disability
This course addresses how physical, cognitive, and sensory difference-as a social justice category-intersects with race as well as with other vectors of identity like gender, sexuality, class, and nation. We will cover texts that reveal the complex interrelations among valences of power. We will ask how political thought and action address historical injuries and how calls for redress may or may not be successful. We will ask how forms of oppression and forms of liberation do or do not travel across national boundaries.
