Theories of Gender and Intersectionality

Uitgebreide vaknaam	Theories of Gender and Intersectionality
Leerdoelen	Upon successful completion of the course unit, students are able to: - explain key developments, theories, and concepts in the fields of gender and intersectionality studies;   - read, evaluate and discuss academic literature about theories in gender and diversity studies; - critically reflect on their own position in the field of gender and diversity studies, particularly in relation to their own discipline; - have constructive discussions with others while respecting gender and diversity; - critically review the (dis)advantages of various theoretical approaches in gender studies, in particular in relation to their own field of study.
Omschrijving	This course familiarises you with key theories and concepts in gender studies, including some of the most recent developments. We take the separation between sex and gender as our point of departure and continue to discuss different conceptualisations of gender relevant since then. We do so by reading different source texts and discussing them together. We aim to look beyond conceptualisations of gender as a separate category from e.g. class, race, sexuality by going beyond the white western canon. Assessment will be through an exam and two smaller written assignments.
