Time and place
Course Information
Intended learning outcomes
By the end of the course, students will have some basic understanding of gendered processes within organisation and work. Students will be able to explain the difference between gender and sex. They will be able to elaborate on the fundamental concepts of gender studies and key insights. They will be able to form questions, in order to unveil gendered processes, structures and dynamics within organisation and work.
Teaching methodology including the use of eLearning tools
This online course will consist of synchronous and asynchronous parts. In the synchronous sessions, the lecturer will present the key concepts and discuss them with students. Following the idea of flipped classroom students are required to prepare for those sessions (asynchronous part) by working through the learning material provided on moodle. Students will work with scientific papers and book chapters (guided reading) and thereby improve the basic skills for scientific work.
Course content
Basic concepts of gender studies within the area of work and organisation. Amongst others:
- gender vs. sex
- gendered organisation
- intersectionality
- decolonial approaches
- heteronormativity and queer studies
- men and masculinities
Prior knowledge expected
This course is taught in English, hence students should be able to read and write texts in English (though grammar and punctuation will not influence marking as long as it is possible to understand the writing).
Literature
will be provided through Moodle in time.
