About the Course

Gender, Inequality, Intersectionality and Social Action is an intensive online certificate course offered by Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Management Studies that aims to provide a feminist understanding of gendered human relations in contemporary India. Sex and gender-based discrimination is a real problem in today's world. Despite years of change that have seen women's suffrage spread, women rising to the highest positions in politics and industry (albeit in limited numbers), and anti-discrimination laws implemented in many parts of the world, we can hardly claim to have achieved anything like true equality. This is a type of systemic violence that thrives on patriarchy and biases that are justified, maintained, and passed down through the generations. More than half of the world's population, namely women, transwomen, alongside other trans and nonbinary people, face even greater challenges. The proposed course will look at issues through the lens of India's diversity, as well as an attempt to understand power relations—historical, structural, economic, and political—that define the male and female relationship in a socio-cultural context, and that originate from deeply rooted patriarchy and age-old dominance structures.

Course Structure

Fourteen modules have been chosen and experts across disciplines and professions engaged in gender-related development in India will address the ways in which gender is understood, constructed, and performed. Drawing from a variety of perspectives –Women Studies, Economics, Law, Psychology, Politics, Social Policy, and Sociology participating in the teaching of the modules. On completion of the course, students should demonstrate an interdisciplinary understanding of the diverse gender issues in contemporary India. They should be able to question the existing stereotypes and critically evaluate patriarchal social practices.
