SOC-STD 98kb - Gender in Developing Nations

Institution:

Harvard University

Subject:

Description:

This course examines gender relations in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America from a sociological perspective. We begin by discussing various theories of gender and development. We then apply these theories to a number of different topics including political participation, economic activities, development initiatives, violence, warfare, sexuality, and reproduction. Although we discuss men and masculinity wherever possible, most of the research in this area is on women, and women are therefore central to most course readings and discussions.
