EnGendering War

We will be talking about how publics are mobilized into war as well as various movements of its resistance with an intersectional focus on race and gender. We will consider about various issues that intersect with war (not limited to): brotherhood and masculinity, nationalism and patriotism and protecting “her”/our “motherland,” children of war, military and draft inclusions of women and queer folks, sexual violence in service and as a tool of war.

Care Ethics

Care is central to our lives. It sustains us and our communities, and is as a central dimension of solidarity. This course provides an introduction to feminist care ethics. We will study the foundation of “care” as a distinct ethical approach in philosophy, as well as its political and economic significance. Further, we will compare and contrast a Western feminist care approach with other philosophical traditions and explore innovations in care ethics from activism and theory in queer, trans, and disability studies.
