Hey Colleagues, H-E-L-P...: )
I have been asked to teach a course in our newly developed Department of
International Studies. I have tentatively agreed to teach an under and
graduate course (4000/5000) titled, Global Perspectives on Gender-Based
Violence. Beyond creating the title, I am clueless about a text that would
be appropriate, although I teach a course on sexual assault here. Any
ideas? Does anyone have a skeletal outline for a course of this nature or a
syllabus? Does anyone know where I can obtain these materials? I would
like to have modules on dowry deaths, female genital mutilation, rape as a
tool of political oppression in war, victims of rape by border patrol
agents, etc.
Thanks for your help!
