PHI324 - Feminism

Outline:

Feminists have famously claimed that the personal is political, and argued against traditional understandings of the public/private distinction. This module will be devoted to examining a wide variety of areas not traditionally considered to be of political relevance, which feminists have argued are in fact crucial to politics. We will discuss such issues as family structure, feminine appearance, sexual behaviour, science, culture and language

Preparatory Reading

Students without a background in political philosophy may find it useful to read Kymlick's Contemporary Political Philosophy, but no prior knowledge will be assumed
