POVERTY, GENDER, AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT

This course explores poverty and gender in local and global communities. Readings consider human deprivations and well-being in the context of social norms, gender relations, and governmental structures. Also examined are policies meant to improve human capabilities, including both the overall effects of such policies and their differential consequences for children, women, and men. To be considered for the course, please email pjhc@rice.edu the week of pre-registration to complete a brief questionnaire. Preference is given to those that have declared the PJHC minor.
