GWSS 201 — Abolitionist Feminism
This course examines feminist and queer abolitionist movements and forms of changemaking and meditation. This course is a transdisciplinary study into feminist histories, theories, and practices anchored to frameworks, political quandaries, and genealogies of abolition and justice-involved legal and enforcement systems distilled from grassroots organizing as well as traditional, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary fields. In turn, students will learn how to apply their knowledge and critical inquiry to current events as well as explore abolitionist meditations as ways of knowing and being through practices of care and concern. Writing assignments, as appropriate to the discipline, are part of the course.
