POL SCI 4121 - Women and Politics

Institution:

Temple University

Subject:

Description:

The goal of this course is to broaden with a comparative perspective our understanding of women’s political experiences. We examine a variety of issues concerning the lives of women worldwide, including their economic, political and social contributions, familial roles and status in society. Initially, the course focuses on the evolution of the political, economic, and social status of American women paying particular attention to issues of race, ethnicity, and class that inform but also complicate women’s political behavior. We then search for similarities and differences in women’s lives that are usually obscured by the status of their countries as either industrialized or non-industrialized, either democratic or non-democratic.
