FMST 44 Women, Globalization, and Migration

Women are subject to diverse forms of discrimination which creates barriers to their socio-economic advancement. The course explores the benefits and hardships produced through gendered migration, how migration is not universally experienced, and how in a globalized world women’s participation in migration differs from each other due to intersectionality. Also, the class examines what motivates women to migrate in globalization from one nation to another, how they are impacted by such movement, and the impacts on their families and support systems.
