Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
This class gives an introductory overview on central terms and theories of gender studies. Starting with the role of women¿s movements for the formation of political and theoretical feminist concepts, important developments and theoretical concepts in the field of academic gender studies will be presented. Shifts of paradigms (like e.g. from 'women's studies' to 'gender studies' or the decentralisation of the category 'gender') will be described. Furthermore, more recent debates about intersectionality and queer theory will be discussed.
Assessment and permitted materials
