https://at-ceu.studyguide.timeedit.net/modules/GENS5010?type=COREThis is an introductory course, which is designed to familiarize you with some of the basic questions and debates in the broad, interdisciplinary field of "gender studies". The course will address different understandings of the concepts of sex/gender in order to introduce the variety of ways in which, throughout the past decades, thinking about these terms has changed. We will explore arguments on the meaning of patriarchy, women's emancipation, intersectionality, the specificities of feminist research methodology, etc. We'll identify the key assumptions and claims in each set of arguments and will try to follow how they got transformed as they traveled to different locations and through time. By the end of the course students will have read and be able to use some of the basic theories and concepts in gender studies in a nuanced way informed by their scholarly contexts and critique.
