Course Summary
This course critically examines how gender inequality, discrimination and violence are produced, experienced and addressed in diverse social, cultural and political contexts. You will consider contested understandings of justice and injustice, and analyse how power, identity and intersectionality shape both people's lived experiences of injustice and institutional responses. Drawing on case studies from both the Global North and South, you will analyse the role of governments, intergovernmental bodies, digital platforms and grassroots organisations in the ongoing struggle for gender equity and justice.
