Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/Department of History, University of California, Los Angeles/Global Feminisms, 1850 to Present (Fall 2023 term)

This course explores the history behind global and transnational feminisms. It will examine how and when feminists have organized internationally, and when movements have gained power through transnational and global solidarity. The course will emphasize how movements against gender oppression in global contexts have often built bridges with other social justice movements. It will also examine historical tensions in “global sisterhood” stemming from empire, racialization, and global capitalism. We will examine the influence of geopolitics on feminism, and feminism’s influence on geopolitics.

Students will work in groups on a Wikipedia assignment on a topic related to global feminist history of their choosing.
