WGS 2800 - Politics of Motherhood

Effective Start Date: 09/22/2020
Motherhood, mothering practices, and maternal identities have long been crucial elements of human existence that have not received the level of attention or support that their importance calls for. This course takes an interdisciplinary look (inc. anthropology, feminist theory, media studies, philosophy, psychology, sociology) at scholarly conceptualizations of “good” mothering and analyzes depictions of mothering practices.

Requisites: Students can’t enroll if previously taken WGS 3559 topic 56 The Politics of Motherhood

Credits: 3
