Usual instructor: Dr. David Neff
This course contains a specific unit on feminist criticism and theory, it engages gender issues in various other schools of thought (psychoanalytic, Marxist, formalist, new historicist, multiculturalist, structuralist, post-structuralist, etc.), and it analyzes writings by women who have developed and/or modified useful and interesting theoretical approaches. Students have an opportunity to investigate gender concerns in some depth, for they are asked to write analyses of texts by various critics/theorists not covered in class.
This counts as the elective in the Women's Studies minor.
