Fall 2026 course highlight: GNDR 5600/6600 Crosslisted with ETHNC 5600
Women of Color Feminisms
Professor Debjani Chakravarty
Monday/Wednesday 3:00-4:20 PM
Fall 2026
This course centers and extends women of color feminist theorizing through a focus on border theory/borderlands/liminalities embedded within diasporic, q***r, postcolonial, and futurist studies. Women of Color scholarship is situated as key to understanding, tracing, and rethinking epistemologies, ontologies, politics and embodiments of a complicated (post) colonial world. This critical course attends to identifying how border theory- specifically feminist theorizing of dislocation and dis/embodiment- and how resistance is enacted, felt, theorized, and reimagined.
Through reading and discussion of evocative and enduring texts written by women of color feminists, this course defines and redefines gender and sexuality, race and class, transgression and q***rness, borders and boundaries, land and loss, community and communication, treaties and treatment, diversity and equity, and Blackness and Indigeneity. Through theory and poetry, lived experiences and standpoints, histories and stories, this advanced course encourages difficult dialogue and critical thinking.

Jill Dumont is a recent graduate from the Department of Ethnic, Gender & Disability Studies. From Jill:

The thing that I have loved the most about being a student in EGD studies is the community. I feel like I have had the environment to learn about myself and others while also growing. I have made some amazing friendships in my time in this department and I hope that all students take advantage of the amazing community this department holds.

Happy Fall Registration! Looking for an amazing online course to add to your fall 2026 schedule? Consider Asian American Politics (ETHNC 3430/POLS 5960) with professor Annie Fukushima!



Video description:
Soft low fye music plays in the background. The video starts with the yellow text: Asian American Politics on a black background followed by the white text: Dr. Annie Isabel Fukushima.

The next clips are of: a gray static background with the black text: Race. A blue static background with the black text: politics. A gray static background with the black text: (in)justice. A gray static background with the black text: Social Movements. Dispersed between these four clips are photos of protests, political figures, magazine and book covers.

These photos and text clips are followed with an interview of Helen Zia saying the following quote: “If we see something that we think is wrong or unjust or could be better, that we have each an individual responsibility to find a way to do something about it. And even better if we can join with other likeminded people to really make a huge difference.”

The video ends with three more black text clips on blue backgrounds with the text: “Love” and “Futures” and “Asian American Politics”. The second to last clip is a black background with the text: Register ETHNC 5430/POLS 5690 University of Utah.

The credit clip cites all of the images and video interview clips used.
