This course explores the contemporary feminist movement in Latin America, focusing on its origins, core demands, and widespread social impact, largely framed by the collective cry of "Ni Una Menos / Not One Woman Less" against gender-based violence and femicide. We will trace the movement's historical evolution, studying its roots from earlier waves of activism to the current "Green Tide" and other social struggles. The course will analyze the contributions of key leaders, artists, and grassroots activists, and critically examine the movement's impact on public policy, media discourse, and the fight for reproductive rights, political representation, and systemic change in contemporary Latin American society. We will address how feminism in the region confronts issues of machismo, intersectionality (race, class, and gender), and institutional violence across different countries.
What will we cover?
We will cover some of the key leaders and strands of the feminist movement in Latin America, including:
Coordinadora 8M
Pro-Abortion organization
Black feminism
Indigenous feminism
Different feminist waves
What will I achieve? By the end of this course you should be able to...
Grasp the fundamental ideas around the women’s movement in Latin America
Recognize the history of the women’s movement in these regions
Critically recognize the women’s movement differences according to different places and women.
What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?
This course is suitable both for newcomers to the subject and for those who have some background knowledge. You will need a good grasp of English to keep up with the course. An ability and willingness to explore relevant shared resources will increase what you get out of the course.
However, as with most of our history, politics and current affairs courses, an open mind and a respectful willingness to listen to and think about views with which you do not always agree are more important than specific levels of skills.
Given the sensitive nature of some of the topics the course will explore, we also expect everyone to engage group and class discussions with respect and the willingness to learn from others.
How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?
This module will be highly interactive, prioritizing group discussions and student participation, encouraging them to connect with their prior knowledge. A wide range of resources will be used, such as music videos, photography, documentaries, relevant text extracts, and similar materials.
Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?
There are no additional course costs apart from note-taking materials.
