Intersectionality and Intercultural Feminism
15.0 ECTS creditsA warm welcome to the course Intersectionality and Intercultural Feminism (15 credits) which starts on Monday, 1 September!
You will find all the instructions - the course calendar and study guide - for course assignments on the course page of the learning platform Canvas available one week prior to the start of the course.
Intersectionality and Intercultural Feminism (15 credits) is a part-time course (50% study time) which means that you should use about 20 hours per week on your studies on it. The course instruction (i.e. course literature, lectures, seminars, assignments, and examinations) is in English.
The course explores the limits and possibilities of intercultural dialogue in minimizing structural inequalities in the society we live in. We connect two main perspectives ? ?interculturality? (from Intercultural Studies) and ?intersectionality? (from Gender Studies) ? to understand what intercultural feminism means and looks like today. ?Interculturality? stands for dialogue, cooperation, understanding, and connection between people belonging to different cultural groups; ?intersectionality? implies hierarchical social relations based on gender, class, race, ethnicity, religion, ablebodiness, sexual identity, regional identity, and other inequalities. We work with the following question: How and when can the power of intercultural dialogue be stronger than the power of intersectional oppression?
All lectures, seminars, individual assignments, and examinations take place on the learning platform Canvas and via the online tool Zoom.
Most of the course literature is available digitally, on Canvas or at the University Library in Karlstad. The following book must be borrowed or purchased:
? Collins, Patricia Hill, Bilge, Sirma (2020). Intersectionality. Malden: MA: Polity Press 2nd edition.
We are looking forward to meeting you!
