Despite the advancement of women in society over the past century, in recent years, local, national and global movements and activists have courageously stepped forward to expose the pervasive challenges and unique barriers women continue to face in educational, career, social and political arenas.
In this course, students will:
(1) analyze the historical and social constructions of gender in order to understand the connections between leadership gaps and gender-based exclusion,
(2) explore intersectional, intercultural, and global factors that influence women’s leadership styles in order to reimagine more expansive and inclusive forms of leadership,
(3) examine emerging and transformative girls’ and women’s movements that have galvanized a new wave of female activism, and
(4) propose strategies to facilitate inclusion and social justice for women.
Through an interdisciplinary focus on readings, case studies and guest speakers, this course provides a broad introduction to the study of women in leadership. [click to learn more]
