A single Credit Course on ‘Gendered Justice’
12 Jul 2024

The course will provide an overview of the intersection between law and gender in the American context, with comparisons to international law as relevant. It will cover the theoretical concepts feminist and other gender justice scholars have used to understand the implications of gender on people’s lives and explore how these theories help us to have a deeper understanding of the ways gender and the law work together to structure inequality into societal institutions. It will explore the impact of that inequality on individuals and groups of people in society with an emphasis on the role of organizing within oppressed gender groups to restructure law as it relates to gender to achieve equality. It will culminate with a look towards the future by re-imagining what an inclusive and gender equal system of laws might look like and how we might achieve it
