Comparative Feminist Politics

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

How can we understand global politics through a feminist lens? This course examines the gendered way in which politics takes place, with a focus on elections, voters and representatives, as well as broader consideration of the political structures and outcomes that occur in a gendered world. The class will explore rights, representation and the ripple effects of gendered systems on government and society. Featuring rich case studies from countries such as Tunisia, Sweden, Rwanda, the UK, Nepal, Liberia, the USA, and more, this course offers a comprehensive view of the nuanced intersections between gender and politics.
