WGS 370: Feminist Research Seminar

Through readings, guest lectures, discussions and hands-on projects, students learn to use and to critically evaluate basic research tools in the humanities and social sciences, as they apply to the interdisciplinary and intersectional field of women's, gender and sexuality studies. The course emphasizes the relationship between generating knowledge and organizing for social justice, gender equality and human rights while exploring notions of objectivity, bias and power in the research process.
