Spots still available in GEOG 3009 winter term course. Offered Tuesdays, on campus, 14:35 – 17:25
Students taking this course will explore places and spaces where the gendered impacts of global phenomena, including migration, climate change, pandemics and financial crises, are experienced. It is fundamentally a course about relations of power, how they are reproduced and how they are disrupted. We will turn to feminist theory, methodology and imaginaries to deepen our analysis of power, taking an intersectional approach that highlights interconnections between gender, class, race and ability.
The course will offer an overview of contemporary debates drawing from a rich body of literature combining research in feminist geography with Black feminist scholarship, theories of social reproduction, ecofeminism, queer theory, decolonial analysis and post-colonial studies. We will also explore the creative ideas and strategies developed by grassroots feminist movements around the world using a variety of sources and learning tools including academic articles, news stories, artistic projects, guest lectures and community engagement.
