Explores feminist approaches to democratic theory and practice. Examines the following questions from a transnational perspective: What are feminist critiques of the gendered and racialized marginalization and subordination that often mark democratic politics? How do feminists from across the globe analyze issues such as citizenship, participation, and justice? What are models of more egalitarian polities and how might they be fostered?
