L.HIS 235 - Race & Gender Reform in the United States-EI

Credits: 3

The course focuses on the struggles for racial and gender equality that took place during slavery–the abolition movement–contributed to the evolution of a women’s rights movement; more recently, the civil rights movement helped stimulate the women’s liberation movement. This course compares and contrasts these movements for racial and gender justice. We will study the past, but also bring our historical query to the present with a study of contemporary social movements.
