WGST 3672 - Who Runs the World? Sex, Power, and Gender in Geography Course uri icon

Overview

description

  • This course will examine how gender and sexuality is constructed locally, nationally, and globally, drawing on conversations about feminist pasts, presents, and futures. We will focus on how gender intersects with race, class, sexuality, ability, religion, ethnicity, and geopolitical location to structure the lived experiences of women across the globe. We will apply critical geographic perspectives to gender inequality, exploring the overlaps and differences in women�s and LGBTQ+ struggles as they are shaped by ongoing socio-cultural, political, and economic conditions globally. Recommended prerequisite: GEOG 1982 or GEOG 1992 or GEOG 2002 or GEOG 2412 or WGST 2000 or WGST 2600. Same as GEOG 3672.
