In this class we will explore how these aspects of globalization shape and are shaped by gender norms, with a particular focus on questions related to work, human mobility and well-being. The importance of policy in shaping the mobility of these four elements is particularly important to understanding gender outcomes. The course will be interdisciplinary in its approach, drawing on economics, history, cultural studies, anthropology, sociology, political science, feminist and post-colonial theory to better understand economic globalization and the ways it is gendered.
