Kursbeschreibung:
This course comparatively examines gender inequality in the 21st century. Many of the issues that were once solely discussed and solved at the nation-state level are now being treated as issues to be reckoned with at the international level. The topics we will cover will not only examine the role of gender in politics but will extend to what is “political” about being a woman or a man in our modern society. We will look at gender equality issues such as access to health care and education, equal employment, sexual violence and war and physical autonomy across different national and regional settings to depict the commonalities and differences that exist in the global world today. Furthermore, this course will look at the effect of forces such as global economy on gender equality and the role that it may play in altering the way men and women access the job market and economic resources. Lastly, this course will concentrate on the role of Intergovernmental Organizations such as the United Nations and the European Union in setting global norms and requirements for equality. We will debate the capability of international law to address gender inequality and what the prospects may be for the future of global justice.
