Feminist 伦敦: Activism in the City International 业务 Program Fall 2024 Semester ——伦敦

This course investigates the relationship between feminism and 伦敦: how feminists drew their inspiration from its slums, 小巷, and workplaces; its markets and marketplaces; its domestic spaces; its artistic hubs; and its private members-only clubs. Focusing on the period from the mid-eighteenth century to the present, it examines both individual activists and writers as diverse as Mary Wollstonecraft, 安妮Besant, 橄榄莫里斯, and Bernardine Evaristo, as well as collective campaigns around issues such as workers' rights, 生育控制, and racial discrimination to chart the ways in which feminists appropriated the terrain of urban space to advance their appeals for equality. Topics explored include: women's writing, 性, 消费主义, 类动力学, campaigns for political rights and representation, fashion and style, imperialism and its legacies, feminism and popular culture, 黑色的 & Asian feminisms, and the impact of social media upon feminist activism and discourse.

Course is cross-listed with GEN336.
