EDPS 524 - Feminist Theories and Epistemologies
3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-0)
This graduate seminar introduces students to key feminist contributions to explanations for social phenomena (i.e. theory) and key feminist debates on how we know what we know (i.e. epistemology). Feminists' key contribution to epistemologies has highlighted the power relations that shape the biases which inevitably inform any and all knowledge production. The course draws on Indigenous, Black, Dalit and anti-caste, Third World, and Women of Colour feminist theories to explore the variety of epistemological challenges these pose to canonical feminist theories and considers their implications for a variety of sites of education: from classrooms to policies and activism.
