___________________________
In this course we will look at several feminist theories and their antecedents. Language and culture, as precursors to conceptions of the social and political, are also basic to our inquiries in this course. Rather than trying to find the One True Feminism, we will consider what is offered by the various approaches taken by feminist political theorists and activists.

Disability Accommodation
Any student requiring accommodations or services due to a disability must contact Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) in Room 181 of the Student Services Center (or Room 221 at the Davis Campus). SSD can also arrange to provide course materials (including this syllabus) in alternative formats upon request. Please refer to SSD's website for more information: http://weber.edu/ssd (Links to an external site.)
Emergency Closure
If for any reason the university is forced to close for an extended period of time, we will conduct our class via Canvas. Look for announcements on Weber e-mail. Code Purple is a good way to be alerted to campus closures, and you are encouraged to sign up for it.
"Core Beliefs” Statement
Core Beliefs: According to PPM 6-22 IV, students are to “[d]etermine, before the last day to drop courses without penalty, when course requirements conflict with a student's core beliefs. If there is such a conflict, the student should consider dropping the class. A student who finds this solution impracticable may request a resolution from the instructor. This policy does not oblige the instructor to grant the request, except in those cases when a denial would be arbitrary and capricious or illegal. This request must be made to the instructor in writing and the student must deliver a copy of the request to the office of the department head. The student's request must articulate the burden the requirement would place on the student's beliefs.”
