“Write yourself. Your body must be heard,” argued French feminist philosopher Heléne Cixous. Over the course of three weeks, we’ll study the work of Cixous and other key feminist philosophers who were involved in developing the idea of écriture féminine–a feminist and feminine literary style that involves the experience of the female body, resistance to (singular) meaning, and joyous free-play. Other philosophers we will read include Luce Irigaray and Julia Kristeva. We’ll also explore short literary texts by authors such as Clarice Lispector, Franz Kafka, and Collete, who were central to understanding the concept of écriture féminine, as well as philosophical works by Sigmund Freud, Jacues Lacan, Melanie Klein, and Martin Heidegger, whose concepts were challenged and modified by these feminist theorists.

Gift certificates may only be redeemed at the full tuition tier.
SLIDING SCALE TUITION
Full tuition is the cost per-student of running the class. If you choose a tier below full tuition, you are receiving a discount. If you choose to make a donation in addition to full tuition, you are helping to cover the cost for students who are not able to pay the full amount.
The mid-level tier is a discounted rate for people whose household income is at or above living wage but who have limited discretionary income.
The low-level tier and the full-scholarship tier are for people whose household income is below living wage or who need extra assistance to meet their needs.
SCHOLARSHIPS
Through our fundraising efforts, we are able to offer three full scholarships per class. The full-scholarship tier is a nonrefundable offering. Each student may only take one full-scholarship class at a time. Because our scholarship funding is limited, if a student selects multiple overlapping classes at the full-scholarship level, they will be disenrolled from all classes.
All sliding-scale and scholarship needs are self-assessed, and we will never request or require proof of need.
Please see our FAQ for more information, including installment plans, refund policy, and sick and inclement weather policy.
