Oktatás célja

The course aims at providing a brief introduction to a collection of social problems related to gender stratification and unequal gender relations in societies. By taking sociology and sociological perspective as the basis of knowledge production about gender and theorizing it through mainstream sociological approaches, the course familiarizes the students with the different definitions, conceptualizations, and theories around gender. The course provides scientific tools for students to analyze gender inequalities in different times and geographical locations. Still, remarkable attention will be paid to those global relations and contextual factors that shape local gender relations in semi-peripheral and peripheral regions, including East-Central Europe. Western-oriented theorizes and concepts will be severely examined to check the extent we can use them for grasping phenomena in non-Western locations. (For the detailed list of topics, see the weekly schedule.)

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 12 training weeks, students can miss 4 classes at most (regardless of the reason for the absence, including medical, family, personal or other reasons). Grading The final grade is composed of the following components and weights: (1) In-class activity and engagement in class discussions: 15% (2) Lecture diaries: altogether 55% (all parts must be submitted to get a grade!) Late submission will be penalized! (3) Pre-class tests: 30%. Each test consists of five short questions (four questions related to the content of the mandatory materials, the fifth requests the student to ask clarification question about the material). At least 7 pre-class tests must be submitted to get a grade, additional submissions are for collecting extra points. Score limits and final grades: 85-100% = 5 70-84% = 4 60-69% = 3 50-59% = 2 0-49% = 1 Bear in mind that partial evaluations and the final grade might be subject to a downgrade because of poor English language performance or incorrect citations. Pay attention to your writing, use a spell checker or other language/editing service before the submissions.
