Certificate of Advances Studies: Gender, Justice, Globalisation - Bern 04/13-04/14
In the Certificate of Advances Studies (CAS) Gender, Justice, Globalisation
a team of international experts introduces participants to the complex
processes of globalisation which not only challenge global agendas of
justice and human rights but also transform gender relations.
The next course will take place from April 2013 - April 2014.
The main objective of the CAS is to provide people with the means to
critically reflect the gender dimension of global power asymmetries. By
introducing the participants to the basics of gender theories and
discussing evidence-based accounts of globalisation as a gendered
phenomenon, they will be encouraged to engage in key debates on gender,
justice and globalisation. This will be facilitated by discussing
political instruments and legal frameworks to address gender-based
discrimination. Candidates will improve their analytical skills to work
with gender concepts which will be applied in different thematic areas
such as development, conflict and violence, cultural difference, human
rights and governance. Not least, this CAS aims at supplying candidates
with robust knowledge to underpin policy making in their personal
professional fields.
The CAS Gender, Justice, Globalisation is designed for anyone who has
an interest in gender issues. The programme is particularly relevant to
professionals who are currently working in national and international
organisations, including trade unions and non-governmental organisations
in the fields of development, health and education, governance, peace
building, human rights or intercultural relations.
The course language is English.
