Gender in Latin American Economic Development
Tuesday, Thursday 1:00-2:15

Carmen Diana Deere

Over the course of the twentieth century women in Latin America have slowly gained a broad range of
economic and political rights so that today in most countries in the region men and women have equal
rights. Nonetheless, there continues to be a significant gap between formal and real equality. This
course will examine the evolution of women's property rights and access to resources, employment, and
socio-economic position compared to men's. It will analyze the role of gender hierarchies in the various
development models pursued including import substitution industrialization, free trade zones and
non-traditional export promotion under neoliberalism. It will give particular attention to the impact of
economic change on gender, families and households, and to the role of social movements in the struggle
for gender and social justice. Fulfills Women of Color requirement outside the U.S.
