CIDS 590 - Issues in Gender and Development

Credits: 3
Familiarizes students with the main analytic debates in the field of gender and development. Institutional domains (households, family and kinship, the market, the community and the state) through which gender relations are both defined and transformed receive separate attention. An introductory survey of conceptual approaches to gender is followed by a treatment of central topics which include: the move from WID (women in development) to GAD (gender and development) as critical perspectives in development studies, conceptual approaches to households, men and masculinities in development, globalization and women’s employment, gender, state and governance, women’s movements and state-civil society relations, gender, conflict and post-conflict, and an appraisal of prospects for gender-aware planning and empowerment.
