2014 Politics and Gender Course Lectures
Gender and women's studies are both interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary in nature. That is, many of the theories and concepts used to analyze and examine gendered concepts, ideas and issues are rooted in other disciplines. They have also come to be part of what is now referred to as Gender and Women Studies. Gender and women's studies were not distinct research fields prior to the 20 th century. Rather, the research conducted across the disciplines looked at and examined gender or women either directly or indirectly. Fueling that research were the growth and gains of the women's movement and the development of academic programs focusing on women and minority rights.
FEMINIST POLITICAL THOUGHT PS1622 SEC1080 FALL 2020 (Updated after the mid-term survey
Syllabus, 2020
This course examines feminist interventions to political theory in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It starts with the introduction to feminist epistemology and the feminist interrogations of malestream knowledge production practices, and moves on to the feminist readings of major issues in contemporary politics, including the political, state, citizenship, agency, private – public interface, patriarchy. The connection and breaks between political thinking and political practice stands as the constant theme in all the topics that are covered within the scope of the course.
Gender and Cultural Politics Syllabus
How does gender matter? How does our gender impact our experience? How do people perform their gender and sexuality, masculinity and femininity? How are these performances related to social, cultural, and political power? How does religious practice impact ideas about gender and sexuality? These are the questions guiding this course. We will explore these questions through discussion, close reading of theoretical and ethnographic texts, videos, and the completion of an original research project.

Feminist Political Theory proseminar syllabus (fall 2020)
Political theory has traditionally associated men with citizenship, public life, and affairs of state, while subordinating or ignoring women's interests, experiences, and voices. Feminist political theory challenges this imbalance, while also expanding the boundaries of what ought to be considered "political." Motivated by a concern for inequality in everyday life, feminist political theory seeks to provide a philosophical framework with which to address injustice, while also inquiring about the existential condition of those who identify as women, trans*, or genderqueer. In so doing, feminist political theory prises open the category of "woman" to reveal its complexities, contradictions, and promise.
Syllabus Feminist Philosophy
Office Hours: TBA Office Location: Worrell Hall 302 COURSE DESCRIPTION This survey course will explore a range of core concepts, theoretical frameworks, and " applied " issues/debates in feminist thought. We begin with an overview of the nature of sexism and the social construction of femininity. Then, we turn to philosophical analyses of a variety of forms of social construction, such as the social constructions of disability and class. The next part of the course considers feminist scholarship on the challenges associated with the theorizing project itself—such as the " problem of speaking for others ". After that we shall delve into Simone de Beauvoir's The Second Sex prior to engaging the works of Crenshaw and Davis on dimensions of intersectionality. The final units of the course will survey feminist scholarship on homophobia, lesbian feminisms, Chicana, Latina and Latin American feminisms, feminist debates in recent U.S. politics, and feminist perspectives on abortion and reproductive rights. In " Toward a Revolutionary Feminist Pedagogy, " bell hooks wrote that " we must learn from one another, sharing our ideas and pedagogical strategies. If we are to learn from one another, we must be more engaged as a group. We must be willing to deconstruct this power dimension, to challenge, change and create new approaches. " 1 With hooks' words in mind, in this course we shall engage all course materials through open seminar discussion that emphasizes critical questioning and debate. In addition, at the beginning of each class students will be asked to provide written comments on one another's short essays on course materials.
Syllabus: SUİ 434 Gender in International Relations
This course aims to offer a comprehensive conceptual and empirical overview of the evolving discussions of gender in the discipline of International Relations (IR). Since late 1980s, concomitant with the post-positivist turn, feminist IR has questioned the "malestream" definitions of state, sovereignty, security, conflict and peace. It offered a broad research agenda by engaging various sub-disciplines of IR and showed the gendered dimensions of security, political economy, human rights and democratization. It posed frontal attack on the ontological, methodological and epistemological stances of most IR theories by asking "feminist questions" and searching for "where are women?" in both domestic and international politics. Building on these insights, the course aspires to provide an interactive and in-depth discussion of the theoretical and empirical contributions of feminist IR and the gendered perspective of global politics.

Syllabus Gender, Security and Peace-Building
This course is at the intersection between international relations, peace studies, security studies, human rights and gender studies. It will first seek to explore the mainstream theories on security, the feminist perspectives on security, as well as feminist theorizing about international politics. We will then examine the gender dimensions of violence in the private and public spheres, both in wartime and “peacetime,” and both by state and non-state agents. We will also analyze the ways in which a conflict is gendered in each of its phases, and what the implications are in terms of security and the building of peace. We will address specific issues such as gender-based crimes, the militarization of women, national identities, and gender in conflict zones. We will also examine the international context and the evolution of peacebuilding policies since the mid-1990s. In this respect, we will analyze the United Nations responses to the violation of women’s human rights (Resolution 1325), as well as the violations of women’s human rights by the UN themselves. Finally, we will explore the feminist approaches to peacebuilding (including the origins of the “ethics of care”), the emergence and the meaning of women’s peace movements worldwide, as well as Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transsexual and Transgendered peace activism.
Feminist Political Theory (Spring 2023)
Feminist political thought challenges the absence or subordination of women in the theory and practice of politics. This course offers an introduction to feminist political theory by asking questions like: what is patriarchal political power? how does the modern state conceive of the place of women in social, political, and economic life, and to what extent can the state be utilized to improve the condition of women? what is the relation between feminism and other struggles for social, economic, and racial justice? how does feminist political thought vary across diverse ideologies, cultures, and ethnicities? what is queer feminism, and how does it interpret and engage in contemporary political processes? Students will read, discuss, and write about historical and contemporary texts that address these and other questions. The course proceeds through various thematic units. We begin by studying ancient representations of women in politics by reading perhaps the oldest and most enduring “feminist” text, Sophocles’s Antigone, alongside Aristophanes’s comedy Lysistrata. We then examine foundational texts in the liberal-humanist tradition of feminist thought. Next, we move into the twentieth century by reading key sections of Simone de Beauvoir’s classic The Second Sex and exploring how this text inaugurates more radical feminist accounts of the state and revolution. After a unit on feminist accounts of the place of women’s work and the body in the polis, the course concludes with investigations of feminism’s intersections with racial politics; the emergence of queer theory and its impact on feminist politics; and how transgender politics expands the scope of feminist thought and action today.
