Gendered Futures: Women's Political and Economic Develop. Strategies in Latin Am. and the Caribbean
LAST 325 SP

This course will explore women's political and economic ambitions within local, regional, national, and global contexts. Case studies from the Andean and Caribbean regions will provide a framework for analyzing broader processes of development, globalization, and human rights. Specifically, we will look at the local strategies women have utilized to both engage with and challenge an increasingly polarized global political economy. During the course of the semester, we will examine the role of such diverse actors as multilateral agencies, international funding organizations, non-governmental organizations, and other institutions active in local development.
