GES 476 - Women’s Space, Women’s Place: Women’s Role in Changing the Face of the Earth

3 Credits

A re-examination of traditional aspects of cultural and regional geography from a feminist perspective. Understanding the full richness of the human experience in utilizing earth as habitat requires a conscious effort to explore the omissions about where, how, and why women live, work, migrate, perceive their environment, and generally contribute to the intricate mosaic of spatial organization. The geographical origins and distributions of differing roles of women in a number of societies are also explored.
