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
