Class Information

Instructor: STAFF
Time: TR 10:30-11:50

Description

This is an introduction to critical theory. Because critical theory is a long-standing, elaborate, & contested field of study, we will be able to engage only a fraction of the many traditions & thinkers. We will focus on the materialist tradition as it engages with class struggle, racialization and anticolonial thought, Indigenous studies, and gender studies, & even an hour or two with Hegel. All readings will be available for free online or on course site.

Grading

Grade will be heavily weighted toward seminar participation and in-class exercises.
