WMSTU 309 - Gender and Globalization

Institution:

Saint Xavier University

Subject:

Description:

Cross Ref: SOC 309, ANTH 309 This course examines the economic, sociopolitical and cultural aspects of globalization within the framework of contemporary debates about the phenomenon. The main focus is on how globalization affects gender roles, ideologies and the experiences of men and women in transnational contexts. Our own discussion of the meaning of globalization addresses questions about the novel character of globalization, shifts in labor and production practices, and the contested relevance of the nation-state. These guiding issues help shape discussions about the formation of gender identities, the transformation of gender divisions of labor in host countries, in "home countries," and in transnational spaces, and organized responses to globalizing forces.
