CSWG Graduate Seminar - 'Patriarchal Institutions & Societies'
This series offers an overview of the state of women’s rights and wellbeing in Global South societies and discuss persisting injustices, such as unequal access to basic services, such as health and education, by investigating decision-making and bargaining power within the household and the relationship between these and gender discriminatory perceptions reinforced at the societal legal. Additionally, it provides a platform to two contrasting investigations on the relationship of women with feminism. On one hand, evidence of grief as a feminist tool for activism and solidarity has women in the MENA region take ownership of non-violent discourse to counter state-sanctioned violence. On the other, a study shows how and why young Chinese women are actively distancing themselves from a feminist identity against the backdrop of a rising feminist movement in the Global South.
