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 meanings and practices permeate our lives, and a closer look at these processes is more
