LAM 226 - Women, Peace and Protest: Latin American Women and the Search for Social Justice (3 Cr.)*prereq change made march 2015 (WS 226 and ) (GEN. ED. #10)
Examination of women’s participation in the human rights, social, and economic movements. Focus on understanding if, why, and under what circumstances gender becomes a central force in the development of these movements. We will address three questions: Has the involvement of women helped to define the human rights movement in Latin America? To what extent have feminist theory and theories of the state accounted for the nature of women’s protest? How and why were women instrumental in the political process that led from authoritarian to democratic rule in their countries? This course focuses primarily (but not exclusively) on women’s movements in the southern cone countries: Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, and Brazil. Prerequisite: sophomore standing. *prereq change made march 2015. See “Updates” link on front page of catalogue. Variable semesters. François.
