students to explore African women writers and critics, look at their theoretical 
priorities, literary themes and cultural positions. It is designed to provide 
students with both a specific and a general view of the status, achievements and 
experiences of African women in fiction. Using different genres (novels and 
plays) we will endeavor to understand how women&#8217;s literary expression has been 
shaped by history, culture, and their experiences, as well as see how they are 
addressing issues of gender in their respective societies. Discussions will 
focus on issues of identity, oppression, resistance, exile, language, 
translation and colonialism, using as points of entry a diverse set of texts. 
Finally, students will examine how African women writers are using writing 
itself as a tool for social transformation and critique.&nbsp;</span></big><big><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">(WST: H; IPG)</span></big><big><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"></span></big><b><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

course will cover women&#8217;s autobiographies from 1970s to the present, including
works from African American, Latina, Native American, Caribbean American, Asian
American, and Middle Eastern women. We will focus on the myriad ways women&#8217;s
autobiographical texts address and problematize issues surrounding identity,
subjectivity, agency, history, memory, sexuality, and resistance in their
narratives. Due to the immense scope of the topic, we will pay particular
attention to women&#8217;s autobiographies that experiment with genre and form, both
as a means of self-expression and as way of grappling with the issues listed
above. Why do women writers blur the lines between fact and fiction in their
autobiographies? How do they weave together interviews, stories, images,
quotes, articles, and other seemingly non-autobiographical formats in order to construct
their identities and relate their experience to the reader? Genres covered will
include social autobiography, bio-mythography, autobiographical manifestos,
graphic memoirs, blogs as autobiography, and more. </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"><big>(WST: H)</big></span><b><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> </span></b><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">&nbsp;<span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; color: black;">During the 1980&#8217;s and 90&#8217;s Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick
and Barbara Johnson emerged as two voices that altered literary critical
thinking. Sedgwick&#8217;s initial texts, </span><u><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; color: black;">Between Men</span></u><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; color: black;"> and <u>Epistemology of the Closet</u> were foundational for a new
field: queer studies. Barbara Johnson incorporated a variety of perspectives
into an interdisciplinary study as demonstrated in <u>The Critical Difference</u>
and <u>A World of Difference</u>. As a scholar, teacher, and translator,
Johnson helped make French philosopher Jacques Derrida accessible to the United
States at a time when they had just begun to gain recognition in France.
Deconstruction is, in Barbara Johnson's phrase, "a careful teasing out of
warring forces of signification within the text."<span style="font-weight: bold;">&nbsp;</span></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">(WST: H; TPS)</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"></span><b><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

United States were granted full suffrage, and become voting citizens, with a
political voice. But that achievement took considerable time and the effort of
several generations of American women. This course will take us back through
the history of female political agitation in this country, beginning with the &#8220;first
wave&#8221; of abolitionists and suffragettes, starting with Margaret Fuller&#8217;s
argument for female equality in <i style="">Woman in the Nineteenth Century </i>and the Seneca Falls meeting of 1848 through the 19<sup>th</sup>
Amendment to the Constitution ratified in 1920. We will then move to the &#8220;second
wave&#8221; of feminism, that arguably began with the publication of Betty Friedan&#8217;s <i style="">The Feminine Mystique</i> in 1962 and is
still alive in the political arena today, although some question whether or not
there has been, since the 1970&#8217;s, a &#8220;third wave.&#8221; This course will cover a
broad range of feminist theories, from literary and cultural theory to
political, social and scientific inquiry, while providing a historical look at
feminism and womanism in the United States. (WST: H)</span></p><h2>History of Sexualities<span style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 18pt; font-weight: normal;"></span><b><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 18pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></h2>

by women and men and about women and men in the various domains of interaction 
(e.g. social, family, workplace) to create and sustain status and power in 
society. It offers the chance to: Study how sex and sexism are realized through 
language, investigate the myths about language and woman's place, learn how 
gender and politeness interact, ponder how women are derogated in language, 
reflect on the repercussions of the generic masculine in grammar, study how 
female-male miscommunication arises, come to terms with gendered language and 
power in society, including the language of sexual harassment, learn how girls 
and boys are linguistically socialized in gendered ways, ponder the question of 
difference vs. dominance. (GenEd: S, D; WST: H, SS)<br></p>

seminar will provide an overview of past and present contributions to feminist
theory, with an emphasis on how contemporary writings build on or depart from
classic writings in the field.&nbsp; To this end, we will read from works that
develop theoretical frameworks for understanding gender differences across
societies and gain greater familiarity with the political landscape of feminist
theory.&nbsp; Readings will include such authors as Simone de Beauvoir, Audre
Lorde, Nancy Hartsock, Donna Haraway, Judith Butler, bell hooks, Aihwa Ong,
Amrita Basu, and Gloria Anzald�a.&nbsp; We will attempt to work against notions
of a fixed and established canon by including the important contributions of
lesser-known writers, not only from the US and Europe but from a host of world
regions.&nbsp; Our objective will be to develop a multicultural and
transnational perspective on the active production of feminist theory and on
the relationship of this scholarship to feminist politics.&nbsp; We will
consider what the most fruitful analytical frameworks are for understanding
gender relations as they intersect with race, class, sexuality, and nationality
over the course of history. Students will participate in leading seminar
discussion and will have several writing assignments including a final paper
for the course.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

questions, we will be thinking about what different understandings of the term
&#8220;feminist&#8221; have had to do with narrative innovations, limitations, focus, and
thematics, and how those have changed (or not) along with feminist itself over
the forty-some years these novels span. Works will include feminist &#8220;classics&#8221;
such as Erica Jong&#8217;s <i>Fear of Flying</i> and Alice Walker&#8217;s <i>The Color
