Gender and Identity in Modern Spain
This course looks specifically at gender within the context of Spanish history- drawing parallels between historic events, Spanish political movements, and looking at the current situation of women and the LGBTQ community within the country.
The course will look at gender roles, rights and identity throughout the past century, and leading up to the twenty-first century, where economic and health crises have disproportionately affected women, youth, and minorities. Recently, the rise of the #MeToo movement and the LGBTQ community, had added a new globalized dimension. Exploring gender and identity remains one of the most fascinating ways to analyze the contradictions and potential of Spain today.
