Hst 513 Topics in Women, Gender, and Transnationalism
Discussion-based course explores historical work that frames women’s experiences and resistance to enslavement, colonialization, and highly exploitative paid work in world-wide labor markets as "transnational" phenomenon. Course participants will examine several case studies of women in transnationlist discourse and politics as they intersect with U.S. history. Central themes in these case studies are questions of identity within and beyond the nation-state as well as feminist cultural/political interventions around issues of race, nation, and sex. Maximum number of credits is 12; 4 credits each for three courses with different topics. Also offered for undergraduate-level credit as Hst 413.
