Gender and Education - An Intersectional Perspective in Contemporary Settings
About the course
Course content
The aim of the course is that the student develops an understanding on the concepts of gender and intersectionality, and an ability to use these concepts to analyse educational practices and school activities.
The course takes the concepts of gender and intersectionality, using both a contemporary and a historical perspective, as its starting point. Hereby, the course builds an understanding, and a critical analysis, of educational practices and school activities. This means that the student, in relation to his or her own experiences, analyses different aspects of education using concepts such as gender, sexuality, ethnicity, race, social class and age.
