WGST 318 - Gender and Globalization

4 credits
Explores how gender and globalization intersect, with a particular focus on economic processes related to global supply chains and human mobility. An examination of the role of power as well as national and global institutions and policies is important to understanding gender outcomes and will be a particular focus of the course. Takes an interdisciplinary approach to the subject, drawing on economics, history, cultural studies, anthropology, sociology, political science, feminist and post-colonial theory to better understand economic globalization and the ways it is gendered. Both theoretical contributions to the question of how gender is shaped by/shapes globalization, as well as empirical case studies from a range of countries will also inform our understanding. Same as ECON 318 .  Prerequisite: ECON 101  or WGST 101 . CLA-Diversity International, CLA-Writing Intensive, CLA-Writing in the Major
