MS 122 PZ -Popular Feminism


Institution: Pitzer

Description: This course will critically examine trends in feminist scholarship and popular culture in the last twenty years to examine what happens when feminism becomes “trendy.†Using case studies from media representation, blogs, advertising, and social media—such as #metoo, girlboss, girl power, and flawless—this course will interrogate how the positioning of feminism as a brand upholds the structural systems it seeks to undermine. We will use these case studies to think about the ways popular feminist discourse positions intimate relationships, the domestic, the workplace, and social interactions in the contemporary moment and what they expose about the position of women worldwide.

Prerequisite(s): See the current course schedule for registration restrictions.
