Globalization and Gender examines how definitions of gender and
sexuality are reproduced, negotiated and deployed in the context of
globalization and transnational flows. Through a critical inquiry into a
variety of theoretical texts, ethnographic case studies and analysis of
media representation, students examine the topics of citizenship,
global labor flows, migration, militarization, neoliberalism and the
construction of the gendered global subject. They study both the
opportunities and challenges that are inherent in postcolonial and
transnational feminist scholarship and activism.
