This graduate seminar assembles an interdisciplinary archive for a feminist history of the built environment. The course asks how constructions of gender shape our understanding of how interiors, buildings, cities, and landscapes are produced, inhabited, represented, and reimagined. Coalescing texts from within and well outside the discipline of architecture, the course will interrogate themes including: domesticity, women's labor, gender performativity, ecofeminism, technology and masculinity, decolonial and intersectional feminisms, speculative history, and future imaginaries.
