About This Course
This online course offers a comprehensive foundation in Gender Studies, specially designed for students of agricultural universities. While covering theoretical and conceptual frameworks such as patriarchy, masculinities, feminism, and gender-based violence, it applies these insights to critical issues affecting rural communities—especially in farming systems, health, employment, and access to technology.
With an interdisciplinary and applied lens, students will examine how gender roles and identities influence access to resources, labor patterns, policy impacts, and empowerment pathways in rural India. The course brings a strong focus on real-life challenges and solutions—from interviewing rural women farmers to understanding the gendered impacts of climate change and food security policies.
