CO 420 Globalization Gender & Communication-GD

This course explores the instruments of globalization and its socio-econo-cultural impact on gender. Students will identify the political, social, and cultural fault lines created by the concept of globalization.

 

The course will examine issues such as the impact of wars, media, and international institutions on the loss of nation-state autonomy and borders as well as globalization's effect on gendered inequality. The course will also examine power shifts, a reconfiguration of political power and civil society, and a change in gender roles within the context of national cultures via communication tools and the global economy.
