Diversity GEP: 3 Credits |
An introduction to women’s and gender studies through the social and personal stories of women and men in East Central Europe when post-Soviet space took an unexpected turn after the cold war. Globalization, hand in hand with a return to the “natural order of things” after 1989, brought also human trafficking, prostitution and pornography, sexism in the media and advertising, domestic violence, feminization of poverty, small reproductive choices, shortage of state supported childcare and other disadvantages. Documentaries of the Open Society Fund / Gender Montage and other visual materials, and field trips are part of this course.
