Case Studies on Gender and Work

Catalog description

Case studies are used across disciplines to create a concrete vehicle for applying abstract theories to real world situations, and to build problem solving skills for real world examples of gender and intersectional inequalities in work (formal and informal, academic and non-academic). Cases marry learning about real world policy and organizational problems with critical thinking, abstract reasoning, and theorizing to support students’ capacities for practical problem solving that can be applied to any academic discipline. Each student will write a case linked to their field of study which engages the concepts of gender and work; the developed case study should address the dilemmas that are encountered by those leading change and demonstrate strategic thinking and problem-solving skills that can address gender inequalities in work. Opportunities for publishing developed cases will be made available.
