This course focuses on a range of theories of gender in modern life. In recent years, feminist scholars in a range of disciplines have challenged previously accepted notions of political theory such as the distinctions between public and private, the definitions of politics itself, the nature of citizenship, and the roles of women in civil society. In this course, we will examine different aspects of women's lives through the life cycle as seen from the vantage point of feminist theory. In addition, we will consider different ways of looking at power and political culture in modern societies, issues of race and class, poverty and welfare, and sexuality and morality.

Answers to the questions provided by three contemporary theories of justice: Utilitarianism, Libertarianism, and Egalitarian Liberalism will be examined. To assess the strengths and weaknesses of these theories, a discussion of their implications for some topics of ongoing moral-political controversy will also be covered. 2006-06-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/75812 18.152 Introduction to Partial Differential Equations, Fall 2004 Staffilani, Gigliola; Vasy, Andras This course analyzes initial and boundary value problems for ordinary differential equations and the wave and heat equation in one space dimension.
