What it covers
In today's political climate, issues related to gender and politics are more important than ever. In this unit, you will explore the ways in which gender shapes political systems, institutions, and policies. You will critically examine the historical and contemporary experiences of women's participation in politics, including their roles in political activism, representation, and policy-making. You will also gain an understanding of how inequalities based on gender, race, class and sexuality influence our politics and learn the tools to undertake gendered critiques and analyses of politics.
