Feminist Big Books (LAW-DS-FEMTHE-26)

LAW-DS-FEMTHE-26

Description

This course offers an opportunity to closely read, reflect on, and put in conversation some of the most influential texts in 21st century feminist (legal) theory. Focused on a small number of books including by Amia Srinivasan (The Right to Sex), Manon Garcia (The Joy of Consent), Veronica Gago (Feminist International), and Miranda Fricker (Epistemic Injustice), the course will cover topics such as the meaning and contours of feminist consent, feminist mobilisation, postcolonial feminist critique, feminist epistemology and more. There will be an emphasis on interdisciplinarity, as the readings will cut across philosophical, legal, and political thought. 

Please note: The course will be reading-intensive and highly participatory. Sessions will be co-led by Prof Suteu and an early career scholar specialising in that week’s topic. The course will give students an opportunity not only to engage closely with contemporary works in feminist theory, but also to trace how a complex argument is sustained over a long-form piece of writing. It is open to researchers across departments.

Teaching team: Megan Osadzinski (EUI), Natalia Morales (UCL), Monica Arango Olaya (UvA)
