Prerequisites
It is an optional subject without prerequisites.
Objectives and Contextualisation
It is an optional subject in the area of knowledge of Sociology. It raises the main critical debates on gender relations. The main objective is to introduce elements of theoretical reflection and empirical analysis that help to understand the complexity of current debates from a gender perspective. The specific objectives are specified in the presentation of five approaches according to fields of sociological specialization:

To analyse the crossroads between multiculturalism and feminism
Specific objective 2:
To explore the role of gender in the explanation of educational inequalities from a historical perspective and show different explanatory frameworks to understand the relationship between gender and educational inequalities.
To analyse issues such as access to different types of studies, the educational trajectories of students, the curricular and pedagogical models of educational centers and the students' own identities as learners.
Specific objective 3:
To analyse the gender production of corporality and its discomforts, as well as the new forms of resistance and dissent to the hegemonic bodily mandates of the contemporary western patriarchy
Specific objective 4:
To know and explore the different positions of feminism in relation to the LGTBI reality.
Specific objective 5:
To analyse the emergence and development of equality policies
To explore the main discussions about gender justice and citizenship

Assessment
The evaluation model will be continued and will include six learning evidences:
- Individual paper (40%)
- Five brief group work according each theme of the subject (12% each one)
On carrying out each evaluation activity, lecturers will inform students (on Moodle) of the procedures to be followed for reviewing all grades awarded, and the date on which such a review will take place
In order to pass this subject, students must obtain an overall grade equal to or greater than 5, this grade resulting from the calculation of the grades obtained from the six learning evidences (the sum of the grades proportional to the percentages indicated for each learning evidence). Students obtaining a global average grade of less than 5 will be deemed to have failed the subject.
Conditions to be evaluated: Participate actively in the classes, as well as deliver and pass with an average final grade higher than 5 points the individual and group work.
It will be considered "Not assessable" when a person presents less than 2 evidence of learning, otherwise, the grade resulting from the proportional computation of the number of evidence of learning presented will be indicated.
In order to opt for re-assessment, students must have obtained a final overall grade of between 3.5 and 4.9 in this phase. In the re-assessment phase, students may have those evidences re-assessed that have previously been assessed as insufficient; these will be analogous to those submitted during the continuous assessment process.
In the event that tests or exams cannot be taken onsite, they will be adapted to an online format made available through the UAB’s virtual tools (original weighting will be maintained). Homework, activities and class participation will be carried out through forums, wikis and/or discussion on Teams, etc. Lecturers will ensure that students are able to access these virtual tools, or will offer them feasible alternatives.
In the event of a student committing any irregularity that may lead to a significant variation in the grade awarded to an assessment activity, the student will begiven a zero for this activity, regardless of any disciplinary process that may take place. In the event of several irregularities in assessment activities of the same subject, the student will be given a zero as the final grade for this subject.
Plagiarism or copying: if this is detected in any of the work submitted, the assessment grade for that work will be 0. If this occurs more than once, the subject as a whole will be awarded a Fail grade.
