Wing, Adrien Katherine. Critical Race Theory: Critical Race Feminism. Course Syllabus, Spring 2005.
As author of over 70 publications and editor of both Critical Race Feminism: A Reader and Global Critical Race Feminism: An International Reader, Adrien Katherine Wing has been instrumental to the development of Crtical Race Theory along feminist lines. Her Spring 2005 course syllabus for Critical Race Theory: Critical Race Feminism–located online through her University of Iowa homepage–is a practical resource with suggestions for course design and further reading.
Designed for juniors, seniors, and graduate students within the University of Iowa’s College of Law, the course description reads:
“This course will examine race relations and racial discrimination through the perspectives of proponents of the Critical Race Theory (CRT) movement, a collection of legal scholars who challenge both conservative and liberal political orthodoxies. CRT is part of an evolving critical jurisprudential tradition that originated with Critical Legal Studies (CLS) in the 1970s, and now includes feminism, critical white studies, Queer Theory, Asian Crit, and Lat-Crit Theory as well. This semester a special emphasis will be placed on critical race feminism, and offshoot of CRT that focuses on the status of women of color under the law.”
