Women's Studies & Humanities Courses
Culture, Identity, & Truth
At Sankofa, we honor women’s studies not simply as an academic field, but as a living practice, rooted in culture, memory, embodiment, and truth.
​
Our Women’s Studies courses invite students into thoughtful exploration of womanist thought, spirituality, healing traditions, and social imagination. These offerings center women’s lived experiences across generations, examining how faith, justice, creativity, and community have shaped pathways toward wholeness and liberation.
​
Through dialogue, reflection, and embodied learning, students are encouraged to engage ideas not only intellectually, but personally, connecting history to the body, and theory to everyday life. These courses create space to reflect, question, and grow while honoring the wisdom carried through women’s stories, rituals, and relationships.

This course centers the sacred relationship between spirituality, embodiment, and liberation as it is lived and practiced by women. Drawing from womanist theology and women’s spiritual traditions across cultures, the course explores how faith is expressed not only through belief, but through the body, relationships, ritual, and daily life, becoming a source of wisdom and resilience.
Across five weeks, participants engage womanist thought and women’s spiritual traditions across cultures to examine how faith has functioned as a source of strength, wisdom, and liberation. The course considers how women have shaped spiritual life within families, communities, and movements, often holding sacred knowledge in informal, intuitive, and embodied ways.
Through reflection, dialogue, and gentle embodied practice, students are invited to explore spirituality as something lived rather than prescribed, a way of knowing that honors women’s voices, experiences, and bodies as sites of healing, meaning, and freedom in the modern world.

Womanism is more than theory, it is a way of seeing, feeling, and transforming the world. Rooted in the wisdom of Alice Walker, Katie Cannon, and Emilie Townes, this course explores womanist thought as a living framework that weaves together spirituality, ethics, and social change.
Across five weeks, participants engage core womanist ideas around love, community, justice, and survival, examining how love functions as an ethic in the face of harm, how community becomes the ground from which liberation grows, and how healing and justice cannot be separated. The course centers womanism not only as an intellectual tradition, but as a practice shaped by care, accountability, imagination, and collective responsibility.
Through class discussions and readings, students explore womanist ways of knowing as guides for personal and collective life. Both intellectual and intimate, the course invites students to imagine wholeness as resistance, and freedom rooted in love, justice, and shared humanity.
