Women, Power and Society examines the ways gender is constructed and reproduced in society, and the ways gender constructs shape and are shaped by power relations. The course focuses both on representations of men and women, masculinity and femininity, and on the personal and institutional practices through which gender is enacted.
Special attention is given to cross-cultural examples.
