Decolonizing Relationships Between and Among Women

March 15, 2022 @ 6:30 pm - April 12, 2022 @ 8:30 pm

This five-week course focuses on the impacts of patriarchal colonization on the relationships that are formed between and among women. Here, we offer the promise of healed relationships and lasting sisterhood that is only possible when we shed the patriarchal mantle and begin seeing the world through a matrifocal lens.

The topics covered in the course include:

  • Birth of the patriarchy
  • Commodification of women’s bodies
  • Destruction of feminine power
  • Emergence of colonization
  • Colonization of land
  • Colonization of bodies
  • Elevation of whiteness
  • Dehumanization of the Non-white body
  • White Feminism
  • The Responsibilities of privilege and power
  • Embodying Feminine Wisdom
