課程簡述 The course is an starting point for the graduate students to engage with Cynthia Enloe’s “revolting” question “where are the women” in global politics. It brings to fore an often sidelined piece of the international politics puzzle and allows students to understand the evolution of feminist frameworks in the discipline. Designed for young minds interested in on how gender roles/ gender norms shape power dynamics, institutional structures, political representation, security threats and influence subjects such as ‘war’, ‘peace’, ‘nationalism’ and ‘diplomacy’.
The course integrates women lived experiences in Global South with established frame-works of IR to highlight paths which produce, reproduce or challenge gender inequali-ties and stereotypes on one hand, and position their agency in the global politics on oth-er hand. The course encourages creative pedagogy such as interactions with women in public sphere, introducing cinema and popular culture to understand the relationship feminist interventions and everyday politics. Emphasizing critical thinking, the course prepares students for advanced study by fostering rigorous engagement with gender’s transformative role in shaping political, economic and social structures.
