What we eat is one of the most basic ways that we demonstrate who we are and what we value. This class thinks about the relationship of food to our rituals and our identities, and will examine how those values intersect with our understanding of food justice, including environmental concerns, food insecurity, labor issues, and animal rights. Focusing on Jews, Christians, feminists, vegans, vegetarians, and other groups in our contemporary context, we will think about how these concerns intersect with gender: how is the production of food gendered? How does gender shape our food identities? And how does gender intersect with the many systems and justice issues that shape and plague our access to food? |

Through analysis of literature and films by indigenous and non-indigenous writers and filmmakers, we will explore issues of gender in indigenous communities in Latin America, gender roles and power distribution within their communities, and related national and global politics, legal systems, and economies. We will study how the imposition of patriarchy has transformed indigenous societies by diminishing the power, status, and material circumstances of indigenous women. We will examine the role of female leadership in indigenous movements for land rights, political sovereignty, and environmental justice; how feminist endeavors relate to these struggles; how indigenous women confront marginalization and invisibility in society as a whole; as well as other topics relevant to the indigenous struggle for land recovery in contemporary history, with special focus on women.

This interdisciplinary class draws on feminist research to examine various expressions of violence--interpersonal, structural, symbolic, and political—paying particular attention to how gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, and other categories inform that violence. This focus will inform the questions we address throughout the semester. How to define violence? Should we limit it to physical forms with an identifiable perpetrator and victim? Or should it also include the impact of unequal distribution of resources? Do racism, sexism, and other -isms that create hierarchies of value among people amount to their own forms of violence? Do different forms of violence interact in a mutually constitutive way, such that violence begets violence? Or should we treat them as separate? In our research, can we identify an intersectional, gendered continuum of violence that incorporates, for example, the quotidian harassment often misrecognized as harmless along with behavior that is legally actionable, criminal, or human rights violations? How can our research on violence contribute to curtailing violence and lessening its impact? |
