Reminders What is theory? How do scholars, policy makers and the public theorize? How do theories of International Relations (IR) matter in today’s complex world? Join us this fall in an Honors Section of POL/GWS 461

POL/GWS 461: FEMINIST AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS THEORIES Tuesday and Thursday 11:00 - 12:15 Professor V. Spike Peterson, Ph.D. Office: Social Sciences: 314C This course will 

explore what it means to theorize and how power operates in knowledge production processes



survey contemporary theories of International Relations and how they shape practices of world politics



examine how theories of IR matter for understanding and responding to structural inequalities of gender/sex, race/ethnicity, class and nationality



familiarize students with feminist perspectives on, and feminist contributions to, theories of IR and Global Political Economy, emphasizing how gender shapes, and is shaped by, processes of globalization

Gender is understood here not as a synonym for ‘woman’ but as a hierarchical coding of masculinity and femininity that pervades social relations and institutional practices, with systemic (though not deterministic) effects on inequalities. Gender meanings and practices permeate our lives, and a closer look at these processes is more illuminating than many anticipate, with relevance and implications for who we are, how we think, and how we act – as individuals, groups, communities and nation-states.
