Section 101 – Gender and Transformation in East Central Europe.
(3 credits). This course will explore gender roles and relationships
and their transformation in East Central Europe in the post-World
War II period, with emphasis on developments since 1989. Attention
will be given to theories of gender inequality and social change
and to comparisons of women's and men's lives in Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic. Among topics to be considered are participation
in politics and the labor force, women's organizations and movements, the meaning of "feminism" in East Central Europe, reproductive
rights, and violence against women. The course will consist of
equal parts lecture and discussion. Requirements include one class
presentation, a 5-7 page paper, and final exam. Students from
different disciplines are welcome; background in East European
or Russian area studies is not essential. (Fuszara)
