Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course explores gendered inequalities through the lens of development studies. We will explore how and why we witness such inequalities between the sexes and what impact does this inequality have on the national and global economies. We will also examine the political strategies that have been developed to challenge these inequalities and assess their success.
