| Autumn week 46 (2018) - 50 (2018) | CANCELLED | Appl.code: 11048 |
|
Full-time, daytime class |
|
ECTS credits: 7.5 |
|
Level of education: First Cycle (undergraduate level) |
|
Level: G1N |
|
Prerequisites: Standard university admission requirements. |
| Content: What is politics and what constitutes a political problem? The answer is not immediately clear. An example of the ambiguity is the politicisation of violence against women, which has changed from being constructed as a private (non)issue, to an urgent political problem constructed around global public health, economic costs and gender equality. This course problematises the concept and practice of the political and policy boundaries: what is and who does politics? It addresses the emergence of the Swedish gender equality project and feminist critique thereof; the gendering of policy areas and representation; and the political organising of women - from grass roots to EU lobbying to hashtags. Intersectional feminist perspectives that problematise gender, power and politics are key elements of the course, which provides examples of how feminist theory can be used as an analytical tool to understand, critically assess and to analyse current events. |
| Teaching Methods: Teaching may be conducted in the form of lectures, student lead seminar discussions, student presentations and seminar tasks. |
| Assessment: The course can be assessed through written examination, take-home examination, compulsory course components, paper, essay/or oral examination. |
