This course introduces "gender" and its influence on the key factors of life: from division of labor between men and women to the structure of society and its institutions, including the job market. Language as social conduct, plays an important role. The course deals with our chances of making a career in a gender-structured society as well as with coping with gender stereotypes, which limit our life decisions.
Students will become familiar with the importance of gender as a structure-making principle, they will also realize its influence on their lives and society and will acquire the ability to cope with it critically.
