Seminar Description
This seminar will explore intersectionality, a feminist concept now ubiquitous and essential for anyone interested in women’s studies to consider. Through foundational texts, historical excerpts, recent sociological studies, and lyric poetry, we will focus on key arguments advanced by black feminists and consider why the fight for equality still struggles to unify all women.
Five sessions. E – $195, L – $214.5
Susan Lyons holds MBA and MLA degrees and focuses her independent scholarship on the intersections of capitalism and humanism. She is currently a graduate student at large, working toward a PhD in sociology.
