IS 334 Gender and Development

Course has four main objectives. The first is to provide an analysis of the location of women in the process of development and to understand the centrality of gender in each case. The second is to examine theoretical and conceptual frameworks for that analysis, including an understanding of the interaction of class, race, and ethnicity with gender divisions. The third is to reflect upon the linkages between the global economy and the gendered macro micro processes of development. The fourth is to provide a basis for research, practical action, and policy formation and for evaluating directions and strategies for social change from a gender perspective.
