GENDER AND SEXUALITY ROUNDTABLE

Catalog description

This course takes an interdisciplinary approach in examining how gender and sexuality have been constructed through social, cultural, discursive and economic processes in hierarchizing social relations in society. The course is organized in a roundtable format that draws on the expertise of scholars and practitioners in the field who introduce students to contemporary issues and debates around gender and sexuality, both locally and globally, in a participatory forum. Students also gain insight on critical anti-racist, feminist and queer epistemologies and pedagogies in order to generate new knowledge and act in addressing gender and sexual inequality in their communities and wider society.
