WGS 304W - Girls on Fire: Feminism, Activism, and the Future

3 CR

In fiction as well as real life-from Katniss Everdeen to Malala Yousafzai-girls shape their worlds and define our futures. This course explores YA Dystopia, feminism and activism, and social media. We consider how these contexts shape girls’ lives in contemporary American culture, make sense of the lives of girls who built feminist foundations, and imagine the future we all share. (This course is cross listed with AME 304W.)

Prerequisite(s): ENG 101 and WGS 101W or AME 201W or permission of instructor.
