| This course considers theoretical, historical and epistemological issues surrounding the study of women, gender and war and exposes students to the broad range of genres and styles in which the subjects of women, gender and war are taken up. We will explore how war and militarism are gendered, as well as the ways in which the discipline of political science itself is gendered in its study of the subject of war. Writers to be covered include historical figures, such as Margaret Cavendish and Virginia Woolf, as well as contemporary feminist critics of international relations from Cynthia Enloe and Christine Sylvester to Sara Ruddick. |
