Prerequisite: INCM 8004 or INCM 8001 or permission of Instructor
The course covers gender relations as an important factor in conflict situations. Gender and conflict both entail power relationships of everyday existence. They influence each other in culturally specific ways in association with race, ethnicity, nationality, citizenship, sexuality, and class. Decoding such intersections of identity and power is crucial for understanding, comprehending and managing conflicts. Gender constructions guide how conflicts unfold and how peace is managed. Conflicts construct, confirm, and change notions of gender.
