In this class, we'll discuss both films in the Frozen franchise and address how we can view them through a feminist-inspired* lens. This intro-level feminist theory class will address three feminist questions: 1) What is agency, and do the women in Frozen have agency? 2) In what ways do the characters in Frozen follow or go away from traditional gender norms, especially compared to other Disney princess movies? 3) Do these movies provide a positive example for children? *Note for parents: our view of feminism will come from an intersectional perspective, and we will discuss aspects of intersectionality in this class, including race, gender identity, and sexual orientation.
Learning Goals
Students will learn several aspects of feminist theory, appropriate to the age range (10-14) and apply those theories to the popular Disney movies.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
The feminist theories of this class are based on intersectional feminism, which argues that gender/gender identity, sexual orientation, race, nationality, language, socioeconomic class, and physical ability are all factors in power and privilege.
