This course is part of a 360 cluster and is only available to 360 students. This course is designed to provide an in-depth exploration of feminist epistemology, decolonization praxis, and the lived experiences of feminized bodies in the Global South. Throughout this course, we examine how traditional modes of knowledge production and dissemination have marginalized the voices and experiences of marginalized groups, particularly women of color. We also discuss the ongoing struggles for decolonization and how feminist thought can support these efforts. In addition, we delve into the unique challenges and experiences faced by feminized bodies in the Global South, including issues of intersectionality, violence, and resistance. By engaging with the work of feminist scholars and activists from a variety of disciplinary and cultural backgrounds, we aim to develop a nuanced understanding of the complex issues facing feminists in these contexts. We also engage with a range of theoretical approaches, including decolonial, queer, and intersectional theory, to better understand the intersections of race, gender, class, and other forms of social difference. Overall, this course provides students with the tools to critically examine how power, privilege, and oppression operate in the world and to develop strategies for working towards social justice. Applications for this 360 are due November 6th at NOON at https://www.brynmawr.edu/inside/academic-information/special-academic-programs/360-program/apply/spring-2025-application-latin-american-feminisms-360deg.
