Welcome to Critical Feminist Studies, a course offered at Bryn Mawr College in Fall 2008. Thirteen weeks into the semester, having worked our way from transgender and intersex, through the transitional and interstitual, to the transnational and international dimensions of feminism, students are now being asked to think about
transdisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity. How might we more effectively talk/write about/represent the issues we've been discussing? How might we (for example) better design a curriculum to represent the world as it is--or as we would like it to be?

Welcome to Critical Feminist Studies, a course offered at Bryn Mawr College in Fall 2008. Ten weeks into the semester, students are writing about the gender-related issues that interest them most in one particular site in the world. They been asked to report on how gender is being represented @ that site, how those representations might be altered, and what interventions are needed. These are projects that look @ the "salience of social location," that ground their theorizing about how gender is operating in a specific history and culture, and that attend to the social conditions that produced those operations.
