Study of Women, Gender and Sexuality 300lr - Seminar: Topics in the Study of Women and Gender-Beyond the Grind: Feminist and Disability Theories of Care, Love, and Resistance

Description:

This course turns to disability justice, Black feminist, feminist-of-color and Marxist feminist thought in order to explore the revolutionary potential of care, love and rest. Additionally, the course examines the complications and contradictions of care work under U.S. racial capitalism. Rather than viewing practices of love and care as a sideline to activist movement work, the course takes these practices seriously by engaging a range of texts from the late 20th and 21st centuries. Discussions include mutual aid, disability justice, queer forms of kinship, Black feminist love-politics, global economies of care work and anti-work politics. Prerequisite: SWG 150. Restrictions: Juniors and seniors only. Enrollment limited to 12. Instructor permission required.
