GWSS 202 — Abolitionist Feminism through Liberative Expressive Arts and Research
This course centers justice-involved people’s voices in various feminist and queer forms of creativity and research as a basis for discovery, change, and healing. 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 develop an understanding of life-affirming and freedom-centered expressive arts and research through practices of care and concern. Writing assignments, as appropriate to the discipline, are part of the course
