Feminism: What Do Women Want (J302)

J – Philosophy and Religion

The class is designed to invite deep discussions about the continued mistreatment of women worldwide. Using lecture and film, we investigate the issue of sexism and underlying foundations of power over restrictive cultural and religious biases that deny women their full sense of agency and control over their bodies.
