PCST 345 - Gender in Peace and War


Combat and violence have often been tied to masculinity, while peace gets linked to femininity. This course will examine the causes, consequences, and disruptions of this dichotomy and the related gendered patterns in wartime violence, protests for peace, conflict resolution, and diplomacy. This course will focus on three interrelated sub-areas by examining the roles of gender and sexuality in Militaries; Wartime Violence and the Military Sex Trade; and Peace Activism and Peacebuilding. Within these areas the course will explore how gender interacts with other identity categories, such as race, class, nationality, and sexuality, to shape people’s experiences. Letter grade with Pass/No Pass option. (Offered as needed.) 3 credits
