This course focuses on the centrality of gender as a factor structuring, ultimately, all social relations. By looking at gender roles in a variety of cultures as influenced by racial and social-class situations, this course exposes how gender becomes naturalized in different cultures but especially in the global north. The course will explore:
• relationships between men and women, men and men, women and women,
as personal and sexual relations, within the household, the labour market, the state
• how gender relations and practices are performed in different cultures
• the role of gender in processes of social transformation
• gender and power
