WGST 5180 - Introduction to Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies
Understanding the various methods that serve as the foundation for the Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies discipline. Given that this discipline is in many ways interdisciplinary, how we conceive of methods is markedly distinct. As such, the methods that serve as foundational for this course concern particular lenses that could (or ought to) be applied to any field of study and yet are also central to Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies. Not only does this course seek to understand the experiences of race, gender, sexuality, but it will also seek to expand a framework to account for a multiplicity of systems of oppression, such as ableism, xenophobia, and settler colonialism. Also, this course complicates understandings of these various systems, of the ways in which they compound and intersect. Finally, how we ought to do the work of Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies is considered. For instance, how are we to be accountable to the communities we seek to engage with textually? In what ways ought we to develop our political and philosophical commitments when doing this work?

WGST 5190 - Indigenous Feminisms
Focuses on Indigenous feminist writings that both aim toward a constructive project of maintaining and respecting Indigenous ways of life, and that seek to address the detrimental consequences of U.S. and Canadian settler colonialism. This begins with a theoretical analysis of key concepts such as settler colonialism, Indigeneity, gender, and institutional racism. Using these key concepts, present-day colonial formations located through state-sponsored child and family welfare services, patterns of incarceration, high rates of sexual violence, and the displacement of Indigenous peoples from their traditional lands are examined. Lastly, state-based efforts to address the needs of Indigenous communities, and collective strategies of resistance practiced by Indigenous women are explored.
