SOC 240: Gender And International Development

This course focuses on how gender inequality is structured globally and how economic and political changes in the last half of the 20th century have impacted these inequalities. To understand the impact of economic and political changes, students examine regions such as Latin America, Asia (Southeast, South Asia, China), Africa, and the Middle East and make comparisons with the United States. Students look at the social, economic, and political structures in different countries of these areas and see how gender inequality is socially constructed and impacted by changes. Students end the course by looking at some of the ways women have made changes in the structure of their countries and ultimately their own lives.
