Short Program Description
Social constructions shape our daily life and
identity, and determine our past, present and future,
leading to gender inequality. Gender inequality then
may lead to domestic violence. The course will give an
introduction to the solutions that gender
mainstreaming offers to gender inequality through
experimental learning, analyzing the complex
relationship between gender , social constructions and
gender, race and class privileges. During the course,
we will explore the interdependency between gender
and power and focus on the theory and practices of
gender roles in different societies, offering therapy
for the inequalities between men and women towards a
partnership and social justice.
