課程概述 |
This course is designed to give students a glimpse into gender studies and their relation to sociology at large. In this course, we will explore the concept of “gender,” its multiple aspects and forms of existence, and its presence in our everyday life. Our discussion of gender will span multiple societies. We will be looking at gender constructs on a global scale. Beyond covering mainstream studies in Western countries, we will also examine how gender is approached in Southeast and East Asia, in Latin America, and other parts of the world. By the end of this course, students will have an overview of dominant theories in gender studies and current trends of research in the field.
Sessions of this course consist of both lectures and discussions. A number of articles or texts will be assigned each week in advance of the session. Students are expected to read the materials and engage actively in in-class activities. Evaluation and assessment are based on class participation, oral presentations and reading notes, group project, and a final paper. This course will be taught in English. English is also the preferred language for in-class exchanges.

|
課程目標 |
Students should ideally walk away with a broad, reflexive, and critical understanding of gender by the end of this course. |
|
課程要求 |
