AMST 375 - Seminar in Women’s Studies

Semester Offered: Fall
1 unit(s)

(Same as AFRS 375 and WMST 375) Topic for 2013/14a: Gender and the Civil Rights Movement in the U.S. In this interdisciplinary course, we examine the modern civil rights movement in the U.S. by foregrounding the roles and experiences of women, particularly African American women. Attentive to issues of race, class, gender, and sexuality, we study the various constraints on–and possibilities for–women activists during the movement, and theorize the impact of women’s activism on U.S. society. May be repeated for credit if the topic has changed. Ms. Collins.

Prerequisite(s): WMST 130.
