【授業の概要と目的(何を学ぶか) / Outline and objectives】
This course focuses on vibrant intellectual conversations engendered by the production of feminist theory in the contemporary moment. This course is divided into the following four sections: (1) theorizing feminist times and spaces, (2) theorizing intersectionality and difference, (3) theorizing feminist knowledge and agency, and (4) imagine otherwise/solidarity reconsidered. Through this course, students will learn the ways feminist theorizing moves across disciplines and at times intentionally defines and destabilizes disciplinary categorization.

【到達目標 / Goal】
By the end of this course, students will be able to: (1) identify and describe the key concepts and main themes of feminist theory (remembering/understanding), (2) apply feminist theory to contemporary social issues in Japan and abroad (applying), (3) compare and contrast various strands of feminist theory (analyzing), and (4) develop and present their own ideas and perspectives on gender and sexuality (evaluating/creating).
