Course Objectives: İngilizce konuşulan bu ders, öğrencilere “kadın hakları” olarak adlandırılan normlar dizisini oluşturan kavramlar ve yasal araçlar hakkında eleştirel bir anlayış kazandırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Geleneksel kodifikasyon ve yargısal tanınma yoluyla söz konusu normların varlığı günümüzde yadsınamaz olsa da, bunların temelinde yatan önyargılar ve temsiller ile yarattıkları uygulama zorlukları siyasi, hukuki ve sosyo-ekonomik tartışmalar için tükenmez bir kaynaktır. Bu ders, kadınların insan haklarının ortaya çıkış tarihine değinerek, bu hakların korunması için oluşturulan kurumsal yapıya genel bir bakış sunmadan önce bu tartışmalardan bazılarını ele alacaktır.
Öğrencilerin mevcut kadın hakları 'rejiminin' altında yatan yukarıdan aşağıya ve aşağıdan yukarıya sosyo-yasal dinamikleri daha iyi kavramaları için, dersin ikinci yarısı, günümüzün küreselleşmiş dünyasında kadınların karşılaştığı bazı temel sorunlarla ilgili 6 vaka çalışmasına ayrılacaktır.
