Course description

This course examines gender as it relates to both women and men and as constituted by multiple factors such as place, space, class, sexuality, age, race, ethnicity, nationality, and culture-what some call categories of "difference." We will explore how these categories of difference shape women's and men's daily lives, our institutions, the spaces and places we live in, and the relationships between social groups in different places and between different places in the world.

    This book forges a new approach to historical and geographical change by asking how gender arrangements and dynamics influence the evolution of institutions and environments. This new theoretical approach is applied via mixed methods and a multi-scale framework to bring together unusually diverse phenomena. Regional trends demonstrated with quantitative data include the massive incorporation of women into paid work, demographic masculinization of the countryside and feminization of cities, rapidly increasing gaps that favor women over men in education and life expectancy, and extraordinarily high levels of violence against men. ...

Although it is culturally diverse, this region shares many commonalities with relation to women that are strong, deep, and pervasive: a space-based patriarchy, a culturally strong sense of religion, a smooth co-existence of tradition and modernity, a transitional stage in development, and multilingualism/multiculturalism.

    Feminism has had an impact on the discipline of geography since the 1970s. In the 1980s, several articles in Anglophone geography journals lamented the lack of female scholars within the discipline while calling for more research that incorporated gender as a category of analysis. Two organizations, the Women and Geography Study Group of the Institute of British Geographers and Royal Geographical Society, and Geographic Perspectives on Women Specialty Group of the Association of American Geographers formed in an effort to draw greater attention to the study of gender within the discipline of geography. ...

    As in many African villages, life in Danku in the north of Ghana has been a struggle for subsistence. The women bear the burden of caring for the children, raising food, and trying to make life better for their families. Through a special project of the Canadian International Development Agency, the women were given access to credit for the first time. This film shows how this little bit of financial aid allowed the women to become "entrepreneurs." We follow two women who take advantage of this program, borrowing a little bit of start up money. ...
