- Class Description:
- Gender and Global Politics is an exciting class that uses current events to explore questions of gender and globalization that are central to the social sciences. In seeking to understand the interconnectedness entailed in 'global politics,' this course focuses on concepts, such as discursive violence, the problem of speaking for others, 'critical global literacy,' and intersectionality- particularly the intersections of gender, race, class, sexuality, and nation- as they emerge through the popular discourse, policy, and material practices surrounding current global situations. An in-depth understanding of globalization and development, 'third world' and differential feminisms, violence and human rights, all serve to further unpack the ways in which power and difference operate to create shifting socio-political hierarchies in various locations. The course satisfies the social science (core) and global perspectives (theme)
