This course examines the role of gender in political institutions, participation and representation. Three questions will be explored: (1) To what extent do women and men think, believe and act differently in politics and what might explain these differences? (2) To what extent are political processes and institutions and social structures gendered and how might they shape the political activities of women and men? (3) Why are women underrepresented in politics and to what extent do female political leaders have an impact? This course also pays attention to how women differ from each other in the political arena, especially when gender identity interacts with race/ethnicity, origin, social class, and sexuality.
