Alison,

I recently taught an Honors course in feminist Philosophy (HNRS 260).
The students were smart and diligent workers but had little to no
background in philosophy and, with the exception of one students, no
background in feminist theory.  The course went quite well (well
received by the students) and the students seemed to be able to
understand the theories.   As is my typical challenge when teaching any
course for the first time, I tried to do too much.  I will, somehow, try
to cut the material by a third the next time around.   I hope the
syllabus is helpful, even in bits and pieces.

Subject: 300 level Feminist Ethics Syllabus

 

Dear FEAST-list members: 

 

I'll be teaching a 300-level ethics course for both philosophy and
Women's

and Gender Studies students this year.  As with cross-listed courses,

most  of philosophy students lack a feminist background, and most of the


WGS students will lack a basic background in Western moral theory. 

 

Does anyone have a syllabus that might work for this demographic, that

they might share with me? 

 

Thanks!

 

Alison
