Class experience
US Grade 5 - 8
In this class, we will discuss feminism, gender, and equality by analyzing the characters in comic book movies. Specifically, our we will focus on the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Is Black Widow a feminist hero? Does Gamora's fate undermine the franchise's attempts to promote gender equity? How does Captain Marvel compare to other feminist icon superheroes? What can we learn from Pepper Potts and the women of Black Panther? These are all question we will discuss, and much more! Week 1:...
Students will learn several feminist theories and understand how to apply them to the texts.
I have been an English professor for ten years, and one of my personal areas of interest is feminist theory, especially when it comes to analyzing texts. I have published numerous essays about feminist issues and enjoy teaching young kids to understand the basics of feminism in hopes of creating a more equitable world!
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
I teach from an intersectional feminist perspective, which means that I view gender as just ONE aspect of the world where equality has not yet been attained. We may address additional areas of social injustice, including racism, classism, ableism, and more. I also teach from a non-binary perspective. Although I use gendered language including "boys" and "girls," I also use language like "all genders" and avoid binary language. Transgender and non-binary children should feel welcome in this course, and we will do our best to use gender-inclusive language.
