Elle Magazine Ranks Most Compelling Classes About The Female Experience
June 29, 2016
From Pussy Riot to Caribbean literature by women, Elle Magazine highlights three UMD courses offered this fall.
Elle Magazine includes three ARHU courses in their list of “63 of the most compelling offerings for today’s college students to examine the female experience.” All three courses are being offered during the fall 2016 semester.
11. In Women's Studies 468L: “Feminist Cultural Studies, from Lenin to Pussy Riot,” number eleven on the list, students will research topics related to gender, the status of women and feminist politics in Soviet and post-Soviet Russia. Pussy Riot, the recent homosexual propaganda ban, and general cultural attitudes in the post-Soviet period are among the topics covered.
39. English 448 is number thirty-nine on the list, and focuses on literature by women of color. Students can enroll in either 448A, “Caribbean Literature by Women” or 448C, “Engagements with Pan-Africanism and Afropolitanism.”
41. At fifty-four on the list, Women’s Studies 300 is a course on “Feminist Reconceptualizations of Knowledge,” which examines how the interdisciplinary study of women and gender has generated new questions and offers insights into the ways we learn, know and teach.
Course registration is available via Testudo. Read the entire list of classes chosen by Elle Magazine on their website.
