Institution:

University of New England

Subject:

Political Science

Description:

This is an upper level course exploring the politics of gender discrimination. The early weeks of the course will examine historical, philosophical and strategic reasons why women were relegated to the home, and kept out of the decisions of tribal, regional, and national leadership positions for so long. The rest of the course will deal with political issues and power struggles still confronting women today, such as (un)equal pay, sports opportunities, human trafficking, the glass ceiling, gay marriage, political positions, careers versus families, and other issues that may arise.
