WGSS 66.28 War, Nationalism, and Sexual Violence in Southeast Europe

This course is designed to develop students’ critical thinking skills on the topics of war, nationalism, sexual violence, oppression, ethnicity, gender, class, and religion. Using intersectionality and interdisciplinarity as methodologies, the course aims to deconstruct ideological, cultural, and political entanglements in the context of Southeast Europe. The course intends to employ gender as a category of analysis to dismantle gender relations, positions of power, war tactics, national identity, socialism, politization of identity, and social mobilization. The course is a discussion-based class, during which students will have the opportunity to trace concepts through close and in-depth readings of key academic, institutional, and organizational texts.
