ASOA05014U Gender, Welfare, Citizenship in Europe. Theoretical Turns and Key Issues - Please note that this course is closed for further registrations
The course focus on gender, welfare and citizenship in the context of globalization, immigration and shifts in social structures, political cultures and identities. The geopolitical framework will be the European Union and its member-states. Departing from the Nordic countries that have often been seen as model states in relation to welfare facilities and gender equal citizenship the course shall explore how the claims on the welfare state and in regard to citizenship have multiplied in a set of new agendas and outlooks that have produced fresh demands and fields of conflicts. They become articulated not least through issues of recognition and redistribution related to gender, family, sexuality, ethnicity, religion and violence. How are the EU and the member-states able to negotiate and meet those challenges? Is the Nordic Model suited to act as a future model for the European Welfare architecture? |
The goal of the course is to make students familiar with a range of theories and methodological approaches in gender and welfare research: such as gender as an analytical category, ideas of welfare and gender regimes, intersectionality as a mixed methodology and at work in gender and diversity mainstreaming. And moreover to enable students to present knowledge based discourses on current affairs of gendering men, masculinities and parental leave, prostitution and trafficking, gendered migration, labourmarket and domestic work. How are such issues approached and how do they contribute to a re-location of European welfare discourses and ideas of citizenship? Students will be presented for relevant academic literature and invited to active participation through the collection of data material from small scale field work, web searches and visits to a couple of Danish welfare institutions and NGOs. |
