“Politics and Gender” introduces students to one of the most vibrant fields in political science. At the cross-roads of political science and the multidisciplinary study of gender and sexuality, “Politics and Gender” considers how, 1. everyday power relations are shaped by gender and sexuality, 2. how political institutions are themselves profoundly shaped by gender and sexuality, and 3. How political institutions shape gender and sexual equality.BAK14 is especially suitable to the following students:
- Students with a background in other areas of political science, but who are not familiar with feminist and Queer approaches to the study of politics
- Students with a background in gender studies, but who are not familiar with political science
