This course explores the ways in which the social and cultural construction of gender influences the nature and practice of politics. The course revolves around two themes – exclusion and empowerment – and examines the practices, policies and structures that exclude different genders, as well as the strategies and repertoires of different gendered communities to protect their rights and interests.
