ECON 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: ECON 445, PSCI 445 and WGSS 445 are cross-listed. Students may receive credit for only one of the courses.
