Module: International Perspectives on Gender, 2012/13 Lecturers: Lyndsey Moon and Caroline Wright Tutors: Nazia Hussein; Lyndsey Moon; Joanna Russell-Cuttell; Caroline Wright
Introduction
This module introduces students to the diverse manifestations of gender around the world in the 20th and 21st centuries. It uses case studies from Britain, Russia, China, South Africa, India, Iran and Ireland. Themes of nationalism, resistance, family, sexuality, religion and work are pursued in order to facilitate analytical connections between case studies. The module explores gender relations as socially and historically variable and emphasises the importance of disaggregating categories of female and male. Particular attention is paid to the symbolic importance of gender and the extent to which it is at the centre of religious and political ideologies that have dominated the last 100 years: colonialism; nationalism; socialism; religious fundamentalism. Attention is also paid to individual and collective resistance to and transformation of gender inequalities and to how contemporary gendered events in case study countries link to recent history.

Learning Outcomes
By the end of the module the student should have an understanding of:
1. the diverse social and cultural manifestations of gender in the twentieth and twenty first centuries in Britain, Russia, China, South Africa, India, Iran and Ireland 2. the complex ways in which individual capacities to exercise agency are differentiated by gender 3. the way in which gender is constructed in articulation with other social and cultural identities, such as ‘race’, ethnicity, age, sexuality, class, religion 4. the relationship between gender and nationalism, gender and orientalism and gender and economic globalisation 5. the diversity of social movements established to tackle unequal gender relations and the challenges they face
With reference to the above students should be able to:
1. understand and analyse the historical, social and political processes which underpin manifestations of gender in different parts of the world 2. locate, retrieve, process and evaluate a wide range of materials about gender manifestations internationally 3. participate effectively in seminars 4. draw on a range of sources to construct their own reasoned arguments 5. make scholarly presentations, verbal and written, on international perspectives on gender
Cognitive Skills
In the process of developing a substantive understanding of diverse international social and cultural manifestations of gender in the twentieth and twenty first centuries, students will also acquire the ability to:
1. assess critically comparative social and cultural manifestations of gender, the complex ways in which gender is constructed in articulation with other social and cultural identities, and the differential impacts this has on individual capacities to exercise agency 2. locate, retrieve, process and evaluate a wide range of materials about gender, ‘race’, ethnicity, age, sexuality, class, religion and nationality in the twenieth and twenty first centuries 3. evaluate competing and complementary theoretical frameworks for understanding the interaction of gender with other social and cultural identities 4. make scholarly presentations, verbal and written, on the substantive and theoretical issues covered in the module material
Teaching and Learning Methods (which enable students to achieve learning outcomes)
2 1. A framework of 20 lectures that establish the module’s outer limits and internal logic 2. Weekly seminars, over 20 weeks, for structured discussions, including student presentations on specific topics 3. Two pieces of class work, with written feedback 4. Self-directed individual and collaborative study in the library and on the internet, in preparation for seminar discussion and presentations 5. A dedicated two week period of revision lectures and seminars in the Summer term

Core Readings
Core readings are identified for each week and need to be read before the relevant seminar. All the core readings are available electronically as well as in hard copy in the Library. There are three types of electronic resources that are accessed via the Library: scanned in extracts; e-journal articles and e-books. Other resources can be accessed directly from the internet using the link provided.
You will need Adobe Reader to access resources electronically, and you can download it free if you don’t already have it on your machine: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html?promoid=DAFYK
Scanned in Extracts
These are chapters of books available via the Library’s dedicated site for e-resources for this module: http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/services/library/main/electronicresources/extracts/so/so112/
You will need to ensure that you are registered for the module via eMR in order to have access, and you must also Sign-in to the intranet site (see top menu bar, right-hand-side). Then you simply look for the reference you require (they are arranged alphabetically by author’s surname). It will open as a pdf and the chapter follows on from the Copyright Notice. You can read it on screen but you will also need to print a copy to bring to the class and you might also want to save a copy (for your own personal use only).
4 E-journal articles
The link provided will take you to the Library’s Classic Catalogue site for that e-journal. You will then need to select a database to access it through, checking that it has the relevant year. You will need to be logged in and then the database archive will open and you need to select the Vol. and/or No. of the journal and page down for the article. You can click to open the pdf, which may take a few seconds, but the interface and reliability does vary. It is recommended instead to save the pdf to your hard drive or data-stick (right click, select ‘save target as’, then choose a directory and give the file a meaningful name). You can then open the saved document, print it, search it etc.
E-books
The link provided after the reference in the reading list will take you to the Library’s Classic Catalogue site for that e-book. If you are on campus you click for access. If you are off-campus click ‘Log In’ (top left of the page), then ‘Athens Users, log in here’ (bottom of screen at the left) and you should be prompted for your normal Warwick login. Once you have opened the book you need to search for the relevant chapter. You can read this on-screen but if possible you must also print a copy to bring to the class. To print a Netbook make sure you have searched for the chapter using the box at the left-hand side, expanding sections as necessary to find it. Then select Print from the top banner and choose the option ‘Pages starting with the current page’, inserting the number of pages in the box and clicking OK (where possible, the number of pages is provided in square brackets as part of the reference in this reading list). This will prompt the creation of an Adobe document so click to Run and the chapter will then come up on your screen with an option to print. You can also save a copy using File, Save a Copy. You will notice that under the terms of University Access to Netbooks only a limited number of pages can be printed each hour, so you may need to access the e-book again later if other library users have used the quota. If you are unable to print the reference you must ensure that you have extra detailed notes to bring to the seminar.
Additional Readings
All the additional readings listed below for each topic are available in the library and should be used when you are doing more in depth work, eg. for a seminar presentation, class essay, assessed essay or revision for exams.
