Course Description
Gender and Politics (GenPol) emphasizes respect for fellow human beings. More specifically, GenPol positions its members (students, tutors, and lecturers) as equal learning resources. Each GenPol member plays a vital role in facilitating the learning and unlearning of other GenPol members. All work together to ensure a safe and comfortable learning space, foster meaningful interactions (non-transactional, non-extractive), maintain an open mind, arrive on time, put away gadgets, and implement zero tolerance for various forms of violence, including bullying, plagiarism, and free riding. Because every GenPol member is a learning resource, decisions to skip class, arrive late to class, neglect assignments, play with their gadgets, cheat, etc. are all things that hinder the learning process of other class members.
