Welcome to our lecture on “Gender violence, agency, and structure.”

Today's PowerPoint slides: gender-structure-agency (pc)-2.pptx

In this session, we will (re) examine and (re)contextualize the ways that gendered relations are shaped by historical and material circumstances, particularly in the organization of public and private spaces. We will begin by looking at a classic text by Peggy Reeves Sanday on female status and the public domain.
