POLI 157 SC - Black Feminist & Womanist Thought


The purpose of this advanced seminar is to examine the social, political, economic, and religious/spiritual forces that shape the lives of Black women in America. Black feminism argues that the race/racism, gender identity, and class oppression are inextricably tied together. Womanist theology is a contemporary theological discipline that aims to place African American women at the center of God, The Bible, and life experience. This seminar seeks to place Black feminist thinkers in conversation with womanist theologians. The course aims to interrogate the rise of the first generation of womanist theologians and Black feminist thinkers; examine the coherence of key intellectual ideas; and analyze outstanding social, political, theological issues, and methodological approaches. Readings are exclusively and intentionally from the voices of African American/Black women.
