CHICANO CM147
Transnational Women's Organizing in Americas
Description: (Same as Gender Studies M147C.) Lecture, four hours. Feminist theories of transnational organizing. Examination of gender and race as central to processes of globalization and essential to economic and political struggles encompassed in transnational power relations. Exploration of how questions of race and gender influence global economic policies and impact local actors and their communities. In time when people, capital, cultures, and technologies cross national borders with growing frequency, discussion of process of accelerated globalization has been linked to feminization of labor and migration, environmental degradation, questions of diaspora, sexuality, and cultural displacement, as well as growing global militarization. Problems and issues created by globalization and cultural, social, and political responses envisioned by transnational organizing. Concurrently scheduled with course C215. P/NP or letter grading.

Winter 2016 - I took this class with no interest in the course whatsoever. It was the only upper division course that was open and worked with my schedule during registration. This course is cross listed as Gender Studies and Chicano Studies BUT this course is also heavy in Political Science. I ended up enjoying the course and do not regret taking it! His lectures are engaging and interesting but there is a lot of terminology to understand in this course. He allows you to choose different formats for assignments, I chose to write 3 papers. He graded fairly but the class isn't an easy A per se. The readings (PDF's on CCLE) are very heavy (long) and most of the readings I did not understand what I read, it felt like a lot of political science technical jargon. I chose to write my papers on the readings that I actually understood and that were more straightforward, but I spent a considerable amount of time re-reading and outlining. He randomly has us complete in class assignments that you turn in with groups so it's essential to show up to class and participate.
