Um námskeiðið
In this course students will be introduced to basic concepts and approaches relevant to gender equality that are used in governance and development. Students will be able to hone their skills, and gain a deeper understanding of how gender and social diversity play out in all aspects of everyday life, and what implications they have for rural and coastal communities. Adding a “human component” in order to have a more complex understanding of the coastal/marine space is crucial for sustainability of various policy interventions and solutions. Understanding gender regimes, various identity intersections, and human security - and discussing the ways to analyze them - will be a focal point of our two-week module.
Through a combination of readings, lectures, in-depth class discussion, exercises and continuous work on a class assignment, students will explore gendered, and other social differentiations of coastal space and its resources, and how these produce a differential impact. Students will be encouraged to consider what role individuals, institutions, leaders, and others play in maintaining and changing ideas of gender and social diversity, and will discuss strategies for social change. A specialist in the field of engaging men in gender equality and combating violence against women will visit the class and present their work as a case study in policy advocacy.
