WMST 600 with Professor Paula Ruth Gilbert
4:30 to 7:10 PM T- West Building 1007
This course will be an interactive, interdisciplinary seminar, with few lectures and involvement by all students. It will focus on a redefinition and an expansion of the traditional view of human rights which has long focused on public actions (state-sponsored terrorism, for example) so that women's rights in both the public and private spheres can be included--rights that protect the female body from being an object of punishment and violation; universal, fundamental, and inalienable rights that go beyond cultural and religious traditions.
