Feminist framework
Defining feminism as a philosophical and political orientation that seeks to dismantle inequities and injustice, this course adheres to the following principles:
- An analytical, theoretical, and methodological framework based on anti-racist, feminist, anti-colonial, critical disability and queer perspectives.
- A praxis-centered approach that bridges academic research with knowledge from ‘on-the-ground’ solidarity and community initiatives.
- A commitment to creating an intellectual space for the sharing and transmission of knowledge that has the potential to fundamentally transform understandings and practices.
