- Advanced Topics for ID/ International Feminist Thinking
In this seminar we will be investigating ideas that have come out of 5 different women's moviments: from Egypt, Argentina, Nicaragua, Burma - and form feminist efforts at buiding international alliances. Many discussions of "feminist theory" concentrate chiefly on ideas crafted within formal university settings. these ideas, of course, have been very valuable. but in this seminar women working within movements organized to empower women, assert women's rights and improve women's material conditions. Moreover, each of the 5 movements we will explore has been self-consciously international. Even if they have focused on the conditions of women and the privileging of masculinity in their own country, these acitivists have drawn from international movements, or sought intenational allies, or coped with international pressures and interventions.
