This course explores the theoretical contributions of historical and contemporary Chicana, Chicanx, and Latina/e/x feminist scholars. An interdisciplinary course, students will learn to apply these theories to works across fields of the social sciences and humanities. We will study the writings of Chela Sandoval, Sonia Saldivar-Hull, Emma Perez, Gloria Anzaldúa, María Lugones, and other leading Chicana/x and Latina/x theorists to better understand a feminism that transcends national borders and ethnic identities. Central to the course is also contending with queer Chicana/e/x and Latina/e/x formations. Some of the topics and concepts we will cover include colonization, diasporic subjectivities, (de)colonization methodologies, consciousness, and borderlands.
