THEO-047 Womanist Theology
Spring only
Womanist theology goes beyond Alice Walker's definition of a womanist as a "black feminist or feminist of color." It serves to provide a critical response to the absence/invisibility of African American women in both feminist and Black liberation theologies and to acknowledge their "coming to voice" as articulators of a holistic communication theology which challenges racism, sexism, and classism. The issue will enable students to explore and critically analyze, from a holistic perspective, contemporary issues in both the religious and secular worlds. Insights will be drawn from literature, social sciences, history and other areas. Some background knowledge of either feminist and/or Black liberation theologies is encouraged.
Credits: 3.00
Prerequisites: None
