| Term: Fall Semester 2023 |
| Description: Using the frameworks of transnational and anticolonial feminisms, this course explores the genealogies, constellations, and contestations of feminist thought in the post-Soviet world. We will consider its unique formations in Eastern Europe and Eurasia, focusing especially on "peripheral" perspectives, such as Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, students will engage with narrative, historical, archival, and ethnographic sources, giving attention to the relationship between gendered subjectivity and state practices. Topics may include: cultures of dissent, women's movements, queer intimacies and LGBTQ+ rights, and transnational collaborations. |
