Course Description
Gender and Development is an interdisciplinary course that critically examines the relationship between gender, development, and social justice. The course aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of how gender affects development outcomes and how development policies and programs can promote gender equality and empowerment. The course will explore the key concepts and theories related to gender and development, such as the social construction of gender, intersectionality, and feminist development.
The course will also examine the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the role of gender mainstreaming in achieving these goals. Students will learn how gender mainstreaming can ensure that development policies and programs are designed and implemented in ways that address the needs and priorities of both women and men, and promote gender equality and empowerment.
The course will also engage students in critical analysis of case studies from different regions of the world, including Asia, Africa, and Latin America. By the end of the course, students will be equipped with the knowledge and analytical tools to understand the complexities of gender and development and to critically evaluate development policies and programs from a gender perspective.
