Description: Using the cosmos as a metaphor, this course explores how Black feminist theory is built through, and subsequently helps build, both poetry and political writing/theory. Students will become familiarized with academic, popular, and emerging works in Black feminist theory and learn their genealogies. Students will also learn to analyze, respond to, and implement these practices into their own work and endeavors. Subjects include sexuality and gender, critical race theory, ecology, and queer theory. Writers include Patricia J. Williams, Achille Mbembe, Angela Y. Davis, Safiya Sinclair, Warsan Shire, Essex Hemphill, and Alexis Pauline Gumbs. Focusing mainly on works from 1970-present, this course will touch on places throughout the Black diaspora, including the Americas, the Caribbean, Afro-Europe, Afro-Asia, and Africa. This is a writing-intensive course, students will create final portfolios of all course writings under a singular focused theme.
