The Faculty of Arts featured Dr. Pauline Greenhill's third year course, Feminisms: Current Perspectives, on their website. Read the full feature there, or check out some highlights below!
The course: Feminisms
Feminisms is a required course for WGS majors and minors. It follows a second-year course that provides the basics and builds in feminist history and theory and includes topics such as gender and sexuality, Indigenous, decolonial, and antiracist feminisms, and abolition.
The assignment: Manifestx
For their final assignment, Manifestx (Manifesto/Manifesta, a statement of perspectives and principles) students were to give their own perspective on feminism in any format they chose. Some wrote essays while others created zines*. One student, Greenhill says, used puppets to make a video; another wrote a song; another created a game.
