| AIM OF THE COURSE |
On completion of the course, the students should, on an advanced level within the field of Gender Studies – Intersectionality and Change, be able
- to identify, critically analyse and account for complex processes of social, cultural, technological, scientific, political, environmental and/or bodily change and transformation where intersectional gender analytical approaches are pertinent and appropriate;
- to demonstrate the ability to integrate knowledge of such processes, and to build a relevant case study against this background;
- to identify, critically assess, select and argue for theoretical, methodological and ethical frameworks, relevant for the analysis of the case, and to use these frameworks to design the analysis of the case;
- to work effectively and constructively in a team using the resources of all team members. |
| CONTENTS |
| The students acquire systematic analytical skills, enabling them to identify, critically analyse and thoroughly account for complex processes of social, cultural, technological, scientific, political, environmental and/or bodily change and transformation where intersectional gender analytical approaches are pertinent and appropriate. Against this background, the students build relevant case studies, and they learn systematically to identify, critically assess, select and account for relevant theoretical, methodological and ethical frameworks, and to use these to develop pertinent analytical strategies vis-à-vis the case. During the process, the students also acquire in-depth knowledge and skills enabling them to systematically and critically argue for their choice of theoretical, methodological, ethical and analytical frameworks against the background of an overview of relevant research and development debates within the field of Gender Studies – Intersectionality and Change. |
| TEACHING |
| Lectures followed by discussions take place in the online classroom. Knowledge is further reinforced during online-seminars and -workshops. In between online-seminars and -lectures students study the course literature independently and communicate with each other online in peer learning groups, supervised by student tutors and teacher(s). The learning process will include training in collaborative team work and productive integration of different knowledge bases of individual team members. |
| EXAMINATION |
The course is examined through active participation in the online-seminars and -workshops, through continuous written individual assignments, submitted online, and through a case study, which is to be documented in a written report, submitted online.
Detailed information about the examination can be found in the programme’s study guide.
Students failing an exam covering either the entire course or part of the course two times are entitled to have a new examiner appointed for the reexamination.
Students who have passed an examination may not retake it in order to improve their grades. |
