Course Content
The course focuses on the gendered nature and impact of development to understand the assumptions and socio-political consequences of the ‘ideology’ of development and the ambivalent effects of its strategies. The institutionalization of gender inequalities and the role of states in reproducing them is a theme that runs through the course. The reasons for the continuing marginalization of women and the nature of disadvantages they face in the structuring of labor markets, is investigated.
