Philosophy of Gender in Caribbean Thought

Year

3

Course Description

This course will be offered in Semester 2 AY2007/2008 by the IGDS Mona Campus Unit in partnership with the Faculty of Humanities and Education. It attempts to look at how gender studies and feminist thought has contributed to the reconstruction of knowledge and to the societal identification and achievement of the goals of sex and gender equality and justice for all.

It attempts to contextualize, in particular, how Caribbean Feminist scholarship has provided an implicit critique of past knowledge and perspectives to present alternatives for ongoing thought and action in the region. The course is highly recommended for undergraduate students who intend to pursue the Ph.d, M.Phil or MSc. in Gender and Development Studies, as well as undergraduate students in other disciplines who intend to use gender as a category of analysis in their graduate research.
