Planned timetable:
This module will introduce students to important metaphysical, epistemological, linguistic, and ethical issues concerning gender, via the arguments and methodology of analytic feminism. Questions addressed may include: what is gender? What might it mean to claim that reason, rationality or knowledge is gendered? Or that language is gendered? How is gender relevant to ethical concerns? How might an understanding of gender impact our thinking about concepts such as equality, justice, and difference? In considering such issues, we will also pay attention to the ways in which gender interacts with other factors, such as race, ethnicity, and social class.
