Take an intersectional approach to investigating the global politics of gender and 'race.' Gain an understanding of why there are gendered and racialized inequities in the global distribution of power and resources; how these inequities have been addressed—and ignored—in international relations theory and practice; and how gender and racialization (and their corollaries, sexism, racism, and colonialism) influence people’s lived experiences of global phenomena such as migration, armed conflict, health/disease, and trade.
