WST 495 - Crossing Borders;Women Making Changes in a Global Society

Institution:

Meredith College

Subject:

Description:

(Spring, Course Offered Every Year) Globalization has spurred the way in which changes on one continent or country impact the lives of women everywhere. This course will introduce students to the problems, experiences and activism of women in diverse situations and contexts, and examine the effects and influence of globalization on the lives of women. The emphasis will be on issues of identity (as mothers, consumers, citizens, workers) and organizing for change (economic, political, cultural, and legal). As we explore activism and the obstacles to change within a global context, we will reflect on how the local is increasingly shaped by complex and distant cultures. Offered as CORE-405 Prequisite: 75 hours.
