Ziele

Throughout the semester, we will "question gender" in multiple ways:
1. Why has gender been a primary organizing principle of society?
2. How do "gendered scripts" for dress, appearance and behaviour emerge among different social groups and in different societies and historical periods?
3. How do we explain the sexual division of labour and the unequal social status of women and girls and those activities and roles deemed "feminine" in society?
4. In what ways does gender intersect with race, ethnicity and sexuality?
5. How do gendered structures of power and authority operate?
6. What factors contribute to the formation and success of movements for and against gender equality and fluidity?
