Introduction to the Politics of Gender
Course Number:
POL00054I
Course Description:
Gender shapes our political and social landscape and our personal interactions. This module aims to introduce students to gender theories and to enable them to draw upon these theories in making sense of political issues, broadly conceived. The module will guide students through the established cannon of theoretical work on gender. We will discuss the relationship between ‘sex’ and ‘gender’, trans* theory and politics, discourse and performativity theory, intersectionality, (post)coloniality, masculinity, and sexuality. The module will provide students with the necessary tools to understand the complexity of gender and carry out research on gender studies.
