Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Women's movements have transformed political institutions in the last century through collective mobilization and continue to shape political discourses across the globe. The first part of the seminar addresses two gaps in research. For a long time, mainstream political science neglected the study of women's movement, as the disciplinary focus was primarily on traditional political institutions, from which women were previously excluded and in which they are unequally represented to this day. Similarly, the growing field of research of social movements has long neglected the importance of gender relations for the emergence and development of movements. These two gaps are treated critically on the basis of seminal texts by feminist (political) scholars. In the second part of the seminar, the issue of normativity in movement research is addressed. Contrary to the liberal notion of civil society as an autonomous area, case studies show that some (e.g. right-wing, conservative) women's movements can actively contribute to the dismantling of women's rights. The aim of the course is familiarize political science students with political science research and methods on social movements, especially women's movements.
