Gender, 7.5 Credits

The course provides introductory knowledge about how gender structures society and culture, in interaction with other identity categories and relations of inequality such as race/ethnicity, sexuality and class. In the course various feminist theories are explored and compared. Key realms structured by gendered power relations, such as sexuality, work, family, violence and politics, are addressed. Alongside examining material and cultural aspects of inequalities between women and men, the course complexifies the notion of gender through intersectional and queer perspectives. The transdisciplinary approach of the course makes it suitable as a complement to studies in all areas of the social and human sciences.
