Gendering Justice

1.00 credits · Undergraduate

This course draws on feminist theoretical frameworks to explore gendered experiences of the Canadian criminal justice system. Students will be introduced to gender and the law through feminist and socio-legal scholarship on a range of topics, which may include marriage and the family, violence and sexual assault, work and labour, prisons and other spaces of confinement, and more. The course will advance an intersectional approach that examines how the law structures and is structured by race, class, and sexuality. (This course is not available to Criminology students)
