Course Description:
This course is designed to introduce students to feminist culture by examining and exploring historical and contemporary feminism in the U.S. through an interdisciplinary approach.

Course Meetings:
This course incorporates lectures, community building, class discussions, films, and collaborative learning activities. Prior to attending class, each student is responsible for completing all readings and assignments in preparation for class discussions and activities. Attending class prepared is critical for succeeding in this course.

Course Requirements:
This course will be conducted in a seminar style, which means that even though there will be lectures given by the instructor, much of the class will consist of students taking part in discussions and activities. The class involves a great amount of interaction among students while the instructor serves as a facilitator. This means that each student is expected to attend class having read and completed all assignments in order to participate in discussions. This process is a collaborative effort and each student must take responsibility for her, his, or their participation. Each student brings her, his, or their own interpretation of the assigned readings based on their own life experience. It is from this interchange of ideas that we will all expand our knowledge of the subject. Furthermore, it requires great sensitivity and respect towards each other. It is essential that students contribute to a learning environment in which everyone feels safe, respected, and valued.
