Critical Feminist Investigations

Yana Rodgers
Rutgers University, 2015
Level: leicht
Perspektive: Feministische Ökonomik
Thema: Race & Gender
Format: Syllabus

This syllabus was originally taught in Spring 2015
Instructor: Yana Rodgers 

Course Description:

This course has dual purposes, to introduce students to the various stages of research and to provide an introduction to feminist perspectives on the politics of producing knowledge. Each student will learn how to be an interdisciplinary researcher while coming to understand the opportunities that feminism presents as a way of seeing, knowing, and representing the world.
Students will need to read assigned texts carefully and be prepared to discuss them in class. There will be several small projects designed to teach students through action how to conduct feminist research. Students will develop and revise a research proposal that will be the basis for further independent work.

Learning Goals:

This course satisfies our department’s learning goals. In particular, students will be able to identify, analyze, and critique the formation and reproduction of social, economic, and political hierarchies grounded in race, gender, ethnicity, nationality, and sexuality.

Despite recent progress, women still earn less than men for the same jobs, leading to economic inequalities and reduced efficiency (see, for example, the recent report released by Moody’s). Understanding the causes and consequences of the gender pay gap is critical in developing policies that promote fairness and equality. 2023 Level: leicht The Gender Pay Gap: Understanding the Economic and Social Causes and Consequences Economy Studies Economy Studies The need for the movement Black Lives Matter and the tragic events that preceded it are the clear manifestation of the problem of discrimination today, which we all intuitively perceive as a poignant socio-economic question of our times. 2021 Level: leicht Economics of Discrimination - A CBD Perspective Dr. Annie Tubadji, Prof. Jan Fidrmuc Exploring Economics After completing the module, participants should be able to understand the economic consequences of gender inequality.
