Title: Black Women's Political Activism
Description: This course uses the history of political activism among African American women to ask questions about participating in American politics. We explore the interaction of gender, race, sexuality, and class with politics in the United States, and this exploration helps us to reconceptualize politics and political science. By relocating black women from their historically marginal position in the curriculum to the center of our attention, we explore ways to transform knowledge about American politics. Our assignments cover feminism, labor activism, and the civil rights movement. Fall 2008.
