POLS 180 — Gender and Politics
In this course, we will explore central topics in the study of gender and politics, including such issues as political representation, elections, social movements, public policy, and institutions. It will examine how gender has been defined and used as a political category, both within the United States and internationally, and how this has affected individuals’ political status and rights. Using classic and contemporary texts, students will examine theories of gender difference, gender voice, gender and political office, and gender and public policy. This cours e is offered occasionally. Prerequisite(s): ENGL 100 or ENGL 101 Corequisite(s): none
