Oktatás célja

The course introduces the public policy analyses of gender-related issues from a critical public policy angle. Additionally, it aims to present the most important international policy documents, agreements, and conventions that influence national gender equality plans in the EU and elsewhere. The course gives insight into basic materials and sources by which gender-related public policies can be shaped. The role of supranational institutions and entities, national governments, NGOs, and the academic sector and their interplay in policy-making will also be discussed. Critical reading of the existing gender policies and developing new ideas to improve gender equality is a core aim of the course. Besides focusing on structural causes of gender inequalities, by applying an intersectional perspective, the course seeks public policy solutions for intertwining systems of inequalities (such as race, class, gender, sexuality, ability, etc.).

Számonkérés és értékelés

Requirements & Attendance Students are required to come to class prepared for group discussions based on the mandatory material. The level of preparation will be checked by short weekly pre-class tests on Canvas. Additionally, students must submit a reflexive lecture diary three times during the semester (see the due dates in the weekly schedule). Further guidelines for compiling the lecture diary are available in a separate document on Canvas. Following ELTE’s Academic Regulation of Students, in the case of practical courses with 13 training weeks, students can miss 4 classes at most (regardless of the reason for the absence, including medical, family, personal or other reasons). There is no exam course option in the case of this course. Grading The final grade is composed of the following components and weights: (1)  In-class activity and engagement in class discussions: 15% (2)   Pre-class tests: 30%. Each test consists of five-six short questions (four-five questions related to the content of the mandatory materials, the fifth requests the student to ask clarification question about the material). The filling-out time limit is 45 minutes. 7 out of the total 12 pre-class tests must be submitted to get a grade, one additional submission (first week’s test) is for collecting extra points. There is no option for filling out any of the tests after the deadline. (3)   Final essay (55%): In the final essay (between 3,000-3,300 words), students are asked to choose a policy area (employment policy, pension policy, immigration policy, population policy, family policy, environment policy, etc.) for a country of their choice and to examine public policies from a gender perspective. (Further instructions will be shared during the semester.) Score limits and final grades: 85-100% = 5 70-84% = 4 60-69% = 3 50-59% = 2 0-49% = 1 There is no re-examination or grade improvement option in this course.
