This unit of study will introduce students to fundamental concepts within feminist social, political and cultural theory. We explore debates about gender and difference; between women and men and between women in relation to class, race and ethnicity. Debates around power, discourse and the body are introduced with a particular focus on postmodern readings of bodies, reproductive technologies and identity. A major focus of the unit is to acquaint students with postmodern understandings of gender.
