This course explores the influence of gender on legal rights in the United States historically and today, focusing in the areas of constitutional rights, employment, education, reproduction, the family, gender-based violence, and immigration. We will study constitutional and statutory law as well as public policy. Some of the topics we will cover are sexual orientation and gender identity workplace discrimination, pregnancy/caregiver discrimination, pay equity, sexual harassment, school athletics, marriage, sterilization, contraception and abortion, sexual assault, intimate partner violence, and gender-based asylum. We will learn about how feminists have attempted to reform the law and examine how inequalities based on gender, race, class, and sexuality shape the law. We will also discuss and debate contemporary policy and future directions. The core questions of this class are “what is equality?” and “is equality enough to achieve social justice?”

Is White Supremacy a permanent feature of race and gender politics in contemporary U.S. society? How does one appropriately respond to its ideology and political power in the Age of Trumpism, also known as Neo-fascism, understanding that Trumpism may last beyond any presidential election? This course will analyze the history, prevalence, and current manifestations of the white supremacist movement by examining ideological components, tactics and strategies, and its relationship to mainstream politics. We will also research and discuss the relationship between white supremacy and white privilege through liberal and conservative writers and explore how to build a human rights movement (including reproductive justice) to counter the white supremacist movement in the U.S. Students will develop analytical writing and research skills, while engaging in multiple cultural perspectives. By focusing on Native American and African American experiences of white supremacy, the course will be interdisciplinary, covering social sciences, anthropology, history, geography, philosophy, political science, economics, and feminist theory. This class is an entry-level overview of the white supremacist movement in the U.S. Further study is necessary to develop more expertise. The overall goal is to develop the capacity to understand the range of possible responses to white supremacy, both its legal and extralegal forms.
