WGSS 312 - Globalization and Gender

Institution:

Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

How is gender embedded in the contemporary global economy? In this course, we look at major institutions and circuits of globalization, for the purpose of uncovering masculine principles and privileges, and illuminating women's participation, agency, and resistance. This is slightly different than a traditional "comparative" approach to women's studies. Rather than contrasting women's positions in different societies, we look at the dynamic interrelations of nations with one another. These relations-especially hierarchical ones-are fundamental to and infused with gender, and have impacts upon gender.
