Introduction to Women and Gender Studies: Theories and Contemporary Issues

 

Introduction to the Course

Consequently, this introduction to Women and Gender Studies takes at its starting point the history and development of feminist thought in the context of women’s actual lives both from global and local perspective. The course introduces students to the central texts and debates in the academic and ‘real life’ feminism to provide a theoretical framework for further courses in Women and Gender Studies curriculum and to courses in a wide variety of disciplines.
