- Class Description:
International development is gendered. That means that women and men are affected differently by international, national and local public policies that address different aspects of the development (poverty of education, of health, of income, of assets, of social support, of political participation, of access to environmental resources). It also means that women and men participate differentially in the policy formulation and the policy implementation process. Furthermore, gender is constructed, resisted, and renegotiated in the development process. In this course students will explore development policy from a gender sensitive perspective. Specifically we will cover the historical and political context of how the approach known as Women in Development (WID) originated and how it transformed through the years into Gender and Development (GAD). We will also explore women's rights as human rights by studying international conventions that address the rights of women and their increasing importance in the context of gender and development. Importantly, we will study current debates regarding men and masculinities in the GAD movement. This analytical frame throughout the course, we will examine the lives of women and men in the Global South. We will examine the role of theory and measurement; the role of international, national, and local stakeholders; and the local and individual effects of various topics of development including paid and unpaid labor, violence, financial services, agriculture and food security, and ownership of land and housing.
