3 hours Course Topic: Abolition and Decolonization. Same as BLST 494 and CLJ 493. Course Description: This interdisciplinary course on transformative feminist visions of abolition and decolonization addresses social and cultural consequences of the prison-industrial complex alongside histories of US warfare, settler colonialism, and racial capitalism. While we will focus primarily on feminism, abolition, and decolonization in the context of the contemporary prison itself, we will study policing more expansively to trace the racialized regulation of gender and sexuality in multiple carceral sites: on the plantation, in the colony, at the border, in the welfare office, in thehospital, and in the warzone. The seminars ultimate focus will be a study of transformative and healing justiceapproaches created by primarily North American based intersectional feminist, queer, trans, crip, anti-racist, and decolonial visionaries. Restricted to Undergrad - Chicago.

3 hours Women, Gender, and Power in African History This course will explore events, moments and developments in African history through the prism of African women, girls and gender non-conforming people: their lives, their struggles, agency and legacies. Placing an emphasis on gender and power, where the two intersect, we will look into the culturally and historically specific ways that women and girls have performed, contested and transfigured gender; how they have taken, wielded, contested and resisted power. We will explore key historical developments, events and processes, engage with religions, cosmologies, ideologies and literary traditions (oral and written) to further understand and contextualize African women's agency. From African queens, queen mothers, female kings like Hatshepsut of Ancient Egypt and Njinga of Angola; to warriors, activists and militants like Mbuya Nehanda of the First Chimurenga in Zimbabwe, and Winnie Mandikizela Mandela of the South African freedom struggle; to the myriad market women, laborers, farmers, and healers, who resisted (and sometimes collaborated within) the slave trade, colonial occupation, missionary Christianity and patriarchy, African women have always played a key role, if often unsung, in African history. This class will combine lectures, group discussions and student presentations and guest speakers, and will draw on written and audio-visual texts. Restricted to Undergrad - Chicago.
