Description

The first course launched was on Gender and Intersectionality and was developed and taught by GEST Research Specialist Dr. Giti Chandra and GEST Project Manager Dr. Thomas Brorsen Smidt. The course was developed to introduce gender studies for those who have never been exposed to the subject, or for those already in the field who wish refresh their basic understanding of gender through a more visual experience. The course offers different resources in the form of literature, articles, images, audio, websites, and visual texts about gender in many different contexts, specifically using examples from popular culture, literature, and history, this course also provides critical readings, activities, and exercises to teach
participants how to analyse religious texts and traditions, class divisions, racial inequality, sexualities, and nationalism through a gendered lens.
