Document Summary

(cid:498)women(cid:499) at the center of our analysis. Problematizing the relationship between gender & power. Guidelines for assignment # 2 fall forums today we ask 2 questions: Our social locations tell a story that changes across space and time. This means that the meaning of our social locations shift, are experienced differently in different historical moments and in different geographical locations to different degrees. What makes this a complicated idea to tease out, is partly a problem of language, language reveals itself linearly, but intersectionality is not linear instead it is multi-dimensional and fluid. It is particular and communal, historical and locatable. In this course we approach the material from a feminist perspective and we subject many of the ideas we consider to a feminist analysis through an intersectional framework. We will put women at the center of our analysis. And gives different values to different people in our social world.
