This course will provide an overview of gender and development issues through exposure to both the theoretical frameworks underlying gendered developmental analysis as well as case studies and practical applications.  It will highlight the social construction of gender and its consequences for the lives of women in developing countries, as well as different strategies for women’s empowerment. Through readings, research, discussions and various in-class activities, students will develop the ability to critically analyze development policies and interventions through a gender lens.
