TRANSNATIONAL FEMINISMS

COURSE OBJECTIVES
This course introduces students to ways of understanding a plurality of transnational feminist and
queer theories and practices. We begin by learning to think critically about some unhelpful
dominant ways of comprehending gender, women and the world. This unlearning process is
necessary if we want to truly comprehend our times. The course exposes students to transnational
feminist and queer theories as they have evolved through the contributions of many disciplines
and perspectives: intersectional analyses of gender, sexuality, racism, class, colonialism and neo-
colonialism; postcolonial and decolonial theory; capitalism; theories of nation, international
relations and globalization; cultural geography; area studies and post area studies; and the theory
produced in unconventional genres ranging from activism to art to the art of living together. The
course includes classical texts in the field, as well as very recent works and new directions.
Throughout, we address feminist and queer issues and practices through the lens of transnational
feminist and queer theories.

GRADING
There is no final exam in this class. Instead you will have:
1. Three Short Assignments. They are on: LGBTIQ Conditions; U.S. Class Structure; and Mail
Order Brides. You are to research the topic, and write a one page summary (single spaced in 12
point Times New Roman font) of your findings. To the summary, please attach the statistics and
references you used (not to exceed five pages). Each assignment is worth 10 points for a total of
30 points or 30% of the final grade. Each assignment is graded on a scale of 0 to 10 points.
2. Class Participation. This is comprised of attendance and participation in our class discussions
for a total of 10 points or 10% of the final grade. This is graded on a scale of 0 to 10.
3. In Class Mid Term Exam. This is an essay exam. Your essays must refer to and reference
assigned class materials (readings, films, etc.). The recommended readings are not required and
you will not be tested on them; however using them correctly and citing them can bolster your
grade. The exam date is listed on this syllabus. Please read the sections under Policies (below)
that are relevant to the exam. The exam is worth 30 points or 30% of your final grade.
4. Final Research Paper. You must choose a paper topic that is directly related to the class and in
the paper must make use of theories learned in this class. This is specifically a research paper. It
must be based on an original archive and use a transnational feminist approach. It is not a general
paper in gender and womens studies. You should be working on the final paper throughout the
entire semester. Because this is a semester long project, there will be no extensions beyond the
due date for final papers. The paper is to help you delve more deeply into an aspect of the class
or of the wider area of transnational feminisms. To make sure a paper topic, archive and approach
are appropriate for this class, please ask the professor during office hours. You must cite at least
three materials from the course syllabus (readings, films, etc.). You should use a minimum of five
additional academic secondary sources. Your paper should be approximately 10 pages long
(excluding the bibliography), double spaced and in 12 point font. Please number all pages. The
paper should be properly structured and referenced. During the semester we will have a
presentation from the librarian to help you identify the sources you need for your paper. We will
also have some time set aside in class for questions and answers about the paper. You are
encouraged to make use of the professors office hours to get guidance. The paper is worth 30
points or 30% of the final grade.

POLICIES
1. Please read the reading materials and do all assignments listed under each class session on the
syllabus before the class in question. Please come to class prepared to discuss the materials and
hand in assignments on the days indicated on the syllabus.
2. To ensure fairness in grading for class participation, attendance will be taken during each class.
Any student leaving before the end of the class period will be considered absent that day, unless
the student has notified the professor in advance. You may have three unexcused absences during
the semester with no consequences on your grade. After three absences, your class participation
grade (and thus your final grade) will be lowered by one point per additional absence.
3. Your professor often posts important materials and communicates with the class through
bcourses. Please make sure you can access it.
4. Absences from exams, class or other required activities for health reasons will be excused after
presenting official documentation of such health issues.
6. Due to distraction issues and in light of the latest research about laptops and pedagogy,
students are not to work on laptops during class. (Students with disabilities who require a laptop
may use one after providing official written justification to the professor of this need.)
6. This courses policy is that lectures may NOT be recorded. Electronic apparatuses (recorder,
computer, cell phone, ipad, etc.) may NOT be used for note taking. None of these apparatuses
should be on during class. They should not be on your desk at all. You may take notes by hand.
Notes may be shared among classmates but are not to be shared with individuals outside the
classroom. This policy is in conformity with official university policy which can be found here:
http://teaching.berkeley.edu/ownership.html
(Students with disabilities are invited to work with the professor to find a solution to effective
note taking after providing official written justification to the professor of this need.)
7. Please provide a hard copy of all work (assignments, final paper). Please do not send any work
by email attachment unless requested to do so.
8. In order to ensure fairness to all students and to respect our Readers busy schedule, late work
can only be accepted under the following conditions: (a) professor's permission in advance of
date due (b) official written justification for your inability to meet the deadline (medical excuse,
etc.). Please note that the Readers may correct and return late work according to the Readers own
schedule and are under no obligation to do so in a timely manner. Thus if you hand in late work
you might also receive it back very late.
9. During the Mid Term you should have nothing other than one pen (at a time) on your desk.
10. In cases where students would like to discuss or contest their grades on an assignment, this
must be done within one week of receiving the graded assignment.

2
11. Depending upon the needs of the class, the syllabus may be subject to small modifications
during the course. However, the in class exam date and the date when the final paper is due will
not change.
12. If you prefer to be called by a name other than the one listed on the official forms for the
course, or if you prefer to be referred to by a specific pronoun, please let the professor and
Readers know.
13. Trigger warning: some of the films and other materials show or discuss violence or other
content that may be hurtful or harmful for some students. If this is the case, you are excused from
attending such films and from engagement with related materials.
14. Professors are requested by the university to inform you that plagiarism is against university
rules, and to provide you with a definition of plagiarism. Professors are obliged to report cases of
plagiarism to their Department and from there such cases may be turned over to Student Conduct.
In this course, the Readers will check assignments and final papers for plagiarism using an online
software program. Plagiarism is defined by the Berkeley Campus Office of Student Life as a form
of Academic Dishonesty, violating the Berkeley Campus Code of Student Conduct which defines
plagiarism as follows: "Plagiarism is defined as the use of intellectual material produced by
another person without acknowledging its source. This includes, but is not limited to: (a.) Copying
from the writings or works of others into one's academic assignment without attribution, or submitting such work as if
it were one's own; (b.) Using the views, opinions, or insights of another without acknowledgment; or (c.) Paraphrasing
the characteristic or original phraseology, metaphor, or other literary device of another without proper attribution."
