SECTION II: INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE

Course Objectives & Content

Course Objectives:

This course aims to critically address issues regarding gender (that is concepts regarding what it means to be a man or woman) and gender equality. Talking about gender equality in some way is talking about gender inequalities; in other words, we generally conceptualize about gender equality through lived experiences and perpetual structures of gender inequality. Within the framework of the course, gender identity and socialization, women’s status in terms of different historical/sociological/philosophical/social-psychological perspectives and education/politics/working life as well as problems faced by men along women in critical areas of social life will be examined.

Course Content:

It aims to explore first the causes behind and dynamics perpetuating gender inequalities; secondly policies addressing gender equality and gender mainstreaming, and finally assisting students to gain gender equality awareness. Students will have the opportunity to examine policies, and programs that address gender equality We will explore the ways in which gender differences arise through social interactions, and in intersection with race/ethnicity, social class, income level, and sexualities and gender identities,
