This series addresses gaps in Chinese-language discussion of gender and shows that women’s experiences are neither isolated nor private. The consequences of rigid gender roles also shape men and sexual and gender minorities.
Through law, work, marriage, parenthood, reproduction, bodies, identity, and social institutions, the course examines how inequality is produced and how a more equal and humane world might be practiced. Feminism, it argues, is not only a set of ideas but a way of acting.
