PHIL 114Feminist Philosophy

3 credits · Philosophy · Penn State

This course familiarizes students with concepts and challenges in feminist philosophies. Students will investigate the intersections of gender, race, sexuality, class, and other dimensions of identity through feminist analysis of epistemological and metaphysical assumptions (e.g., What is a woman? Does one's sex and/or gender provide special access to certain types of knowledge?), social structures, language, and the character of power.
