PHIL 507

Feminist Philosophy

A graduate seminar that treats feminism as live philosophical territory rather than settled politics, working through questions about gender, justice, knowledge, and the body by reading thinkers from Woolf and Friedan to Crenshaw, Manne, and Fricker. Most weeks center on a primary text or pairing, and you are expected to come in ready to reconstruct the argument, locate its weak points, and defend a position of your own in writing and discussion. It assumes you can already handle dense analytic and continental prose, and it pairs naturally with work in ethics, political philosophy, and epistemology — useful background for anyone heading toward research on social ontology, oppression, or applied ethics.
