Gender, War & Peacebuilding

Catalog description

Feminist scholars have demonstrated the multiple and complex ways that gender norms are implicit to the processes of war, militarism, and peace and have examined gender as a system of power that is both instrumental in, and constituted by, militarism and armed conflict. This course explores war and peace as gendered phenomena reliant on socially constructed norms. Prereq: 1110, 3 credit hours in WGSSt courses, or permission of instructor.
