    We live in a globalized world. Our lives are integrated by economies, mass media, and policies. With all we have in common there is much that divides us. We are all citizens of the world but we are situated in different positions—we have different values, priorities, and analyses. Transnational feminism engages the similarities, differences, and contradictions to create a theoretical framework for social change across genders, sexualities, race and ethnicities, social classes, regions, and nations. Framed by critiques of “universal sisterhood” launched by women of color and feminists from the Global South, this course challenges the conventional Western story of feminism. As we analyze the workings of power and gender in different cultural contexts and within international feminist discourse, we will also focus on the creative cultural practices women use to negotiate their lives and consider various challenges and strategies of transnational feminist projects.

    3 hours
    Sooner or later, we are presented with questions of a most fundamental kind: Does my life truly have meaning? How do we account for evil and suffering? Is the universe friendly and with a final purpose? Is death the end? Such questions-including questions about God’s existence and nature-arise in various times, places, and ways: in the art forms of popular culture, in personal or social crises, in unexpected joy or sorrow, in the midst of nature’s beauty and awesome power, in the struggle to love one’s enemies, in the kindness of strangers and the fidelity of friends, in the restlessness of the human heart. This course offers an introduction to theology as a way of raising and attempting to answer such questions. So, students will learn to think theologically through self-discovery but also by engaging other individuals and communities, especially Catholic Christianity in conversation with other traditions.
