WST 135 Gender and Militarism
Militarism in various forms dominates states all over the world, and its basic value of "power over the other" influences a population which begins to accept the suitability of violence as a method of resolving conflicts. The goal for this course is to think through war in all of its complexities. Militarism and war have a relationship with, and impact on, the practice of gender. Looking at what gender has to do with war, how masculinity and femininity work in times of war to create soldiers, and how gender is used, along with race, to create enemies, will reveal the relationship between gender and militarism.
