Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The aim of this course is to introduce the students with gendered approach to political science, from central concepts of feminist political theory, introduction to women’s and feminist movement, and gender policies, to feminist political economy and the review of international level of influences. This is done on several levels. First, through introduction of specific concepts that grew out of feminist movement and gender studies, the course aims to challenge and critically assess the existing concepts of political science. Second, by bringing into connection the strands of feminism within political science, the course also introduces different approaches to the nature of political, hence widens the field of research outside of the mainstream political science practices. Third, through assessment and analysis of different feminist concepts and approaches the course aims to show the close linkage of “gender politics” in theoretical sense to everyday political practices, and especially to encourage the application of adopted theoretical concepts to real life examples.
