CORE 002 SC - Incentives Matter: The Economics of Gender and Choice


This course will explore how gender construction and perceptions about gender have evolved over time and how current perceptions affect the choices that individuals, institutions, and governments make. We explore the very ideas of choice, gender roles, the relationship between social and biological functions, and the notion of equity that economic participation may promise. These are issues we will examine as we look at how economic opportunities for women are linked to issues of race and class and how education plays a key role in changing the economic calculus of women’s lives.

Course Credit: 1.0
