This is the capstone course for students undertaking the Gender Studies major. Students will explore key debates in gender studies and will examine the influence of Western Marxism, psychoanalysis and feminism on contemporary society, as well as considerations of the cross-disciplinary traditions of structuralism and post-structuralism. By critically engaging with contemporary Australian feminisms and 'New' French feminisms, with an eye to their historical roots, students will also learn about female psychosexual development and the bodily experience of sexuality. The goal of this course is to provide students with skills to be able to transfer these concepts/ideas to contemporary issues thereby highlighting the interconnectedness of feminist philosophy and practice. |
