Women's Studies

Women profiles  
The courses I teach in women’s studies are centered on feminist social movements (particularly the American women’s liberation movement of the 1960s and 1970s), African American feminism, and the cultural production of masculinity and femininity. In spring 2003, I developed a course, African American Feminism in the Humanities (WMNS 215), which brings together some of these topics. It is a privilege to teach and conduct research in women’s studies, since this discipline has provided a means of exploring issues that do not fit easily into more traditional academic disciplines. I have included samples of syllabi to show what I have taught so far, and writing samples to give readers an indication of subjects I have considered in my research.
