Restricted to Graduate School students.
This combined upper-level undergrade and graduate seminar engages central themes in Christian theologies and ethics, focusing on perspectives found especially in white feminist and black feminist/womanist thought along with select authors from Latina/mujerista, Asian American, and other feminist sources. We will read both classic texts and more recent works as we observe the difference that sex, gender, race, socio-economic class, global location, etc. make to the theological and ethical enterprise. In short, this course introduces students to the history of feminist theological and ethical thought while also exploring pressing contemporary issues in theology and ethics by listening to distinct, at times contrasting, voices.
This course is intended not only for formal students of theology, but for anyone who is eager to explore this content in the context of an upper-level elective. Students do need a keen interest in both theological and ethical concepts/issues to appreciate, and learn from, the course.
