PSCI 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. (CP) Cross-listed: PSCI 445, ECON 445 , and WGSS 445 are cross-listed. Students may receive credit for only one of the courses. May not be taken for credit by students who received credit for PSCI 449 B. Recommended Preparation: PSCI 331 .
