ENG 3014 Spring 2018 Richardson

What is “theory,” anyway? And what is “feminism”? What happens at the intersections of race, gender, class, sexuality, and other matrices? In this course, you will develop definitions and perspectives that will help you use some feminist tenets for yourself, and you’ll look through lenses that allow you to see patterns you might not have noticed before. We’ll think about what sorts of questions theoretical texts attempt to answer, and you’ll start to generate answers of your own. You’ll use the lenses and perspectives you acquire in your future literature classes, but also in your daily life.
