LAW - 676a Gender and International & Comparative Law

(2 hrs.)

Gender, International, and Comparative Law introduces students to women’s rights and LGBTQ rights within international and domestic legal frameworks around the world. Students will learn how gender constructs are shaped by and in turn shape domestic legal systems, as well as law and policy-making in international bodies. Using an intersectional, transnational, and comparative approach, students will explore topics such as the gender mainstreaming, legality of the person, access to justice, sexual and reproductive rights, women’s political participation, access to decision-making bodies, development paradigms, migration, and trafficking in persons.
