Boston College's fall semester features a new course in theology called "Mythic Patterns of Patriarchy" which analyzes "patriarchal religious myth, especially in the professions and in the manifestations of phallotechnology." Bucknell University offers "Witchcraft and Politics," which explores "witchcraft, spirit possession, and cults of the dead as idioms of power and as vehicles for protest, resistance, and violent social change." The University of California at Santa Cruz offers "Feminist Cyborg Fiction," which discusses The Gilda Stories by Jewelle Gomez, the tale of "a lesbian-of-color vampire."
