WMST 445 - Gender and Development

Units: 3

Gender analysis remains in the peripheries of development theory and practice despite evidence which suggests that “modernization” results in disparate outcomes for similarly situated women and men. To bridge this analytical gap in development studies, the course explores the gender dimensions of the dramatic structural changes taking place in the world economy. Cross-listed: Also offered as ECON 445 and PSCI 445 . Students may only receive credit for one of the courses.
