Womanist Ethics
Students enrolled in Christian Ethics 203 with Dr. Michelle Wolff work in small groups to produce creative projects based on one of the following womanist methods: radical subjectivity, traditional communalism, redemptive self-love, critical engagement, or appropriation & reciprocity. Informed by course readings, each group utilizes womanism to address contemporary concerns of race, gender, and class.
