Omicron Group Govt. 360 Index

C O U R S E I N F O R M A T I O N
Welcome to the Omicron Group Project’s digital classroom companion to the “Govt. 3360: Women and Politics” course offered by the Department of the Social Sciences, Shawnee State University. This course, taught by Prof. Hadjiyannis, examines the struggle for women’s political, social, economic, and legal equality in the United States and abroad. Through assigned readings, lectures, class discussions, films and documentaries, fiction, autobiographical accounts, and an examination of relevant current events, this		course will explore four general themes: 1) the relevance of gender in understanding public policies, decision making, and the distribution of power and resources in all societies today; 2) the various ways in which women themselves, as political actors, observers, and scholars, have challenged and redefined "politics as usual;" 3) the question of what unites or divides women in acting as an interest group; and 4) the relationships between gender, race, ethnicity, class, sexual orientation, religion, and national identity.
