Descriptif

This course offers an introduction to gender studies, extending to the study of feminist and queer theories, women’s and LGBTQI+ movements, and masculinities. The course aims to explore critical questions concerning gender in society while familiarizing students with key issues, questions, and debates in gender studies scholarship. It will enable students to adopt a gender prism and conduct gender analysis in a range of spheres, including political institutions, the labor market, healthcare systems, and media, cutting across various disciplines, including law, political science, sociology, and economics. Additionally, it will equip students with the necessary critical tools to evaluate and participate in contemporary policy debates, such as same-sex marriage, surrogacy, and #metoo. By the end of the course, students should have a solid foundation in gender studies, be capable of analyzing gender dynamics in various contexts, and be prepared to engage thoughtfully in ongoing discussions about gender-related issues and contemporary debates
