WGST 301 - Filming American Feminisms

4 credits
Explores the development of thinking about women, gender, and feminism in the United States after 1900 through examination of documentary and fiction films.  Students will have the opportunity to reflect about the evolution of feminist thought in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries and about how film has engaged with, represented, supported, disseminated, and critiqued those developing ideas.  Readings in feminist theory of the period may be put in dialogue with a wide range of films ranging from silents to Hollywood blockbusters to independents and documentaries made with explicitly feminist purposes. Same as ENGH 324  and FILM 324 . CLA-Writing Intensive, CLA-Diversity US, CLA-Breadth Interdisciplinary
