Global Feminisms Research Project Prompt

“The Global Feminisms Project is a collaborative international oral history project that examines the history of feminist activism, women’s movements, and academic women’s studies in sites around the world” (http://umich.edu/~glblfem/en/index.html). The project is based in the Institute for Research on Women and Gender at University of Michigan. It includes interviews with “women’s movement activists and women’s studies scholars in Brazil, China, India, Nicaragua, Poland, and the United States.”

Each class member will sign up for a specific location, watch an interview from that location, read the supplementary materials provided on the website, and research the history and present-day situation of women and girls in that country. You will then create a presentation that teaches the class about what you have learned. Finally, you will write a short reflective essay.
