WOMS 306 - Sex, Money, and Power

Institution:

University of Delaware

Subject:

Womens Studies

Description:

This course allows students to understand the cultural construction of gender, power, and sexuality in relation to global economic processes that connect the family, household, and intimate relations to the world of work, commerce, and the global economy. It will demonstrate to students how what have long been considered "intimate" social relations have become geographically dispersed, impersonal, mediated by and implicated in broader political-economic or capitalist processes. Students can systematically compare their lives as women and men with those of others around the world using social-science perspectives and increase their understanding of the gendered aspects of the dynamics of global cultural and economic interaction. Students will be able to apply theories of intersectionality and feminism as well as perform critical analyses of socioeconomic dimensions of gendered lives in local and global contexts.
