The reading listed below is indicative - it is not intended to be exhaustive but will enable students to participate in seminars and will provide a starting point for assignments. For the assignments, you are expected to demonstrate familiarity with both essential seminar readings and with sources beyond the core reading. The items marked 'essential' reading should be read by all students in advance of seminars. Where possible, seminar reading is available electronically via the Talis list on blackboard. See handbook/module coordinator for more on reading. The 'discussion questions' should be used to guide your reading and note-taking.

For further reading on specific topics, please consult the module handbook. In some cases, I may post additional tasks to prepare for seminars as the weeks go by so please keep an eye on the list for changes.
It would be a good idea to purchase Saul, Jennifer Mather (2003) Feminism: Issues and Arguments, Oxford: Oxford University Press as this is not available electronically. There are copies in the library (and more on order). Chapters from this book are essential reading for many weeks of the module. You could also consider purchasing Bryson, V. (2016) Feminist Political Theory: An introduction, 3rd edn. Basingstoke, Macmillan as although the 2003 version is currently available online, the 2016 version is updated and has more material. Again, chapters from this text (or the 2003 edition) are essential reading for many weeks of the module and this text is also available in the library.
For this week, please bring some examples of representations of feminism in popular culture and/or the media. These can be positive or negative representations. If you are familiar with any of the recent popular (i.e. Non-academic) texts on feminism (Caitlyn Moran, How to Build a Girl; Bridget Christie, A Book for Her; the controversially titled, Hot Feminist by Polly Vernon; and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's We Should All Be Feminists, are all examples but there are more out there) it might also be useful to think about how these texts view the nature of feminism and to bring examples from them if you happen to have access to any.
