SOC 346 - African American Women: Unheard Voices and Contemporary Lifestyles

Course Units: 1

(not offered 2015-16) This course examines the socialization of black womanhood. We will explore how certain socio-historical norms shape black women’s ideas about race, gender, class, sexuality, constructions of femininity, and public and private activism. Understanding the complexities of strategies of resistance to multiple and intersecting oppressions (race, class, gender, sexuality, etc.) forms the focus of the course.
