GEND 3019OL - Gender and Race in a Colonial World III

Online - Semester 1 - 2025

This course takes an intersectional and decolonial approach to gender, race, and other intersectional categories, exploring how European colonial ideas and practices created many of our current assumptions about race and gender, and how this thinking continues to influence power 最新糖心Vlog today. Using Lugones? concepts of the `coloniality of gender? and `heterosexualism? (among others), we will trace the origins of gender, race and racism in colonial discourses, and look at how they have contributed to contemporary heteronormative gender roles for both colonising and colonised societies. Hearing from Black, Indigenous, `Third World Feminist?, ecofeminist and Islamic feminist scholars, we will take a critical look at how colonial thinking creates overlapping binaries between `modern? and `traditional?, `rational? and `natural?, `liberated? and `oppressed?, and how these dualisms work to justify or obscure ongoing inequality and exploitation. We will look into a range of contemporary global issues and contexts where these dynamics still commonly play out, including in nationalism, economic development, feminist campaigns, Indigenous issues, environmental debates, and global `gay rights? campaigns. In recognising colonial ways of thinking, we will also attend to alternatives, looking for more ethical ways to practice cross-cultural solidarity, and encountering anti-colonial visions for a more just and relational world.

    The basis for this course is reading from your course reader and further reading lists. Each week a lecture or online learning module will provide an overview of your reading and help you to understand and synthesise it, developing an overall map of the course content and its relation to contemporary issues and events. In your tutorial/online discussion each week you will develop your own abilities by (a) practicing your reading, interpretation and discussion skills, (b) working with other students on finding answers and exploring problems, and (c) asking for assistance on anything that is not clear. Your assignments are where you practice and demonstrate your knowledge, skills and understanding. The majority of assignments will be in written essay form.

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.
