POLS 342: Gender, Law and Policy

Course Description

The course offers students the opportunity to engage in a critical analysis of the relationship between law and gender that is grounded in court decisions and legal commentary and centered on competing theoretical frameworks of gender equality in a democratic society. The course does not assume prior background in political science, law, or women’s studies; however, prior coursework in any of these areas will be helpful. Cross-listed: POLI SCI 342/ WG STDS 342.
