The Summer School Gender and Politics is designed to meet the existing need
for developing a new approach to the teaching of
Political Science, History and Cultural Studies in the region - an approach
that would take more notice of the achievements of
Gender Studies and feminist theory. The Summer School is intended for young
academics specialising in various disciplines of the
humanities and social sciences. The purpose of the School is to offer a
variety of courses and teaching approaches that would
broaden the participants' perspective on the political aspects of gender
(mostly in the social and historical context) and the
gender aspect of politics, as well as to suggest new ways of teaching
Political Science, History and possibly other subjects from
the Gender Studies perspective. The main emphasis is on an interdisciplinary
approach. The course will consist of the following
modules: Political Action, Gender, and Party Politics; Women's Political
Identity in the Making; Critical Approaches to Gender and
Citizenship; Gender Aspects of National and Religious Movements; Gender
Imaging in Mass Media.
