GEOG 3000, Race, Sex, Space and Place (Waterbury Listing - Online Synchronous) Thursdays from 3:30pm to 6:30pm
This course critically examines how gender, race, sexuality, class, age, and other forms of differentiation intersect in spaces, places, boundaries, and bodies. Throughout the course, we will review critical writings of feminist geography and urban studies that question hierarchies of power (patriarchy, colonialism, capitalism, and globalization, among others). Students will begin the course by exploring how feminist urban geographers have contributed and challenge geography as a discipline. Next, the course will explore the theoretical overview of debates, conceptualizations, and constructions of gender, sexuality, and race in everyday spaces and places. We will cover work on the politics of knowledge production and methodologies; economic processes, including women's work and labor, migration, and development, and political processes, such as (trans)nationalism and feminist geopolitics.
