In this course we focus on understanding the academic and practical frameworks of gender inequality in the Global South. We look critically at the impact of socio-economic, political and cultural forces on gender and development to learn about the vulnerabilities of women and other genders inclusive of changing relationships and roles between sexes in different spaces. My goal is to provide you with a strong foundation of the theoretical discourse, guide you to analyze leading issues, and teach you how to develop critical methodological tools used in the international development sector for programs to improve gender equality including Policymaking. We will use empirical data from across the globe to empower class discussions and debates about gender and development.
