The students are introduced to the basic concepts (such as gender, sexuality, feminism, equality, and intersectionality) as well as research traditions in gender and women's studies especially in the context of social sciences and the Finnish society.

Tue 12am-4pm

Teaching is based on lectures (10 hours) and seminars (14 hours). Lectures provide theoretical knowledge on particular themes related to gender in society.
