Description
This module introduces students to the main debates on gender, politics, and public policy in Latin America, particularly since the Third Wave of democratisation. Specifically, it explores the ways in which gender scholars have contributed to (as well as challenged) conceptual, theoretical, and methodological frameworks from mainstream political science. Divided into two parts, the course emphasizes the ways in which gender is political and discusses the role of gender relations in representation and public policy in Latin America. Combining different in-class activities and assignments, the course also provides students with opportunities to reflect on the challenges of designing, promoting, and adopting policies to address gender inequalities. For the marked assessment, students are required to design a campaign to promote a gender-related public policy in a country in Latin America.
