About the Course

"Feminism and Social Justice" is an adaptation of Distinguished Professor Bettina Aptheker's long-running course at UC Santa Cruz. In the course, Professor Aptheker presents a broad definition of feminism that serves to frame three significant events in the history of feminism and social justice: the Empire Zinc strike of 1951, the 1971-1972 trial of Angela Davis, and the #metoo Movement....

I recently completed the Coursera course on Feminism and Social Justice and found it to be an incredibly informative and engaging learning experience. The course was taught by highly knowledgeable instructors who provided a thorough overview of feminist theory and its intersection with social justice issues.

One of the things I appreciated about the course was the way in which it explored the diverse perspectives within feminism and the various approaches to achieving social justice. Through a combination of readings, lectures, and discussions, I gained a deeper understanding of the ways in which gender, race, class, sexuality, and other factors intersect to shape experiences of oppression and privilege.

The course also provided a wealth of practical tools and strategies for addressing inequality and promoting social justice, both at the individual and systemic levels. I found the assignments to be challenging yet rewarding, and they provided ample opportunity for reflection and application of the concepts covered in the course.

Overall, I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in gaining a comprehensive understanding of feminism and social justice. It was an eye-opening and thought-provoking experience that I will carry with me in my personal and professional life.

I appreciated the content of the course. Prof. Bettina Aptheker's lectures provided a solid though brief introduction to feminism and social justice with an excellent choice of particular examples with which to view historical intersections of feminism and social justice. The discussion questions were also useful to encourage application of the course content to the personal experience of the participants.

The multiple choice questions, however, sometimes tested outside knowledge which had not been introduced in the lecture, sometimes tested recall of obscure details that were not essential to the course goals, and even one question was phrased with such unclear grammar that it didn't make any sense. Overall, the multiple choice questions seemed to be poorly chosen and gave me a bad impression of Coursera as a learning platform.

Il corso attraverso uno spaccato riguardante la ribalta a potere sociale delle donne, attraverso un paio di eventi significativi e cruciali per ciò. Personalmente lo trovo abbastanza completo (per i temi affrontati circoscritti in questi due specifici eventi) e fruibile. Unica pecca: considerando che chi si approccia a questi corsi è spesso (come me) gente che lavora ed è impossibilitata a seguirli personalmente causa tempo pressoché assente, i contenuti multimediali sono decisamente lunghi (più di 1 ora per video), e si rischia di far fatica nel restare concentrati sull'argomento. Per il resto lo trovo ben fatto, ricco di aneddoti storici e testimonianze varie. Lo consiglio a chi cerca un primo approccio al tema.

creo que es interesante conocer algunos casos históricos en los que las mujeres han dejado claro su valor y coraje y cómo la injusticia social ha tenido desde siempre un lugar grande dentro de la sociedad. Sin embargo creo que la profesora es un poco radical y de alguna manera dibuja a los hombres blancos como el enemigo, si bien es cierto minorías éticas dentro de la historia de Estados Unidos han sufrido opresión, esclavitud y desventajas en sus estilo de vida, mucho de eso parte del pasado y no creo que es necesario enfocarnos siempre en el pasado, debería haber lecturas enfocadas mas en los avances que estas comunidades han logrado a través de los años y que han aprendido de la lucha de sus ancestros

That was amazing! Thanks to professor Bettina Aptheker, I've learnt a lot. For exemple, I didn't know of the Empire Zinc strike, and I knew about the #metoo movement, but only from a mediatic point of view. The jurisdictional history of rape and the social reaction to the various cases that the professor mentioned were very interesting and helped me to compare the US situation with the Italian one. Finally, I loved the lecture about Angela Davis, even though I already knew about her and her experience. Bettina Aptheker's point of view on the intersectional feminism, together with her consideration on the concept of power, is very inspiring and it's the kind of feminism I'd like to fight for.
