WMGST-412 Seminar: Feminist Epistemologies and Decolonizing Knowledges
How do we know what we know? What is "real" and "true"? How are feminist epistemologies distinct from other taken-for-granted ways of knowing? How has "knowledge" and knowledge-production been central to colonial and imperial projects of the 19th and 20th centuries and what are their present-day influences? What would it take and what would it mean to "decolonize" knowledge? These and other important questions will guide the critical exploration from feminist perspectives.
