First-Year Seminars 110SJ - Wonder Woman: Social Justice

For the past 75 years, Wonder Woman has been a cultural icon and an ambassador of social justice. Since her first appearance, Wonder Woman has taught millions of girls -- and boys -- the strength of sisterhood, peace, understanding, acceptance, and empowerment. Wonder Woman's lessons are accessible to each of us, regardless of social identities. We will explore Wonder Woman's origins, her depictions in art, media, and social movements and how we can find -- and be -- Wonder Woman in 2017. Anti-racism, feminism, and pacifism are some of the topics that will be covered. This course is speaking- and writing-intensive and culminates in a final project.

First-year students only, by placement.
