Help me study for my Social Science class. I’m stuck and don’t understand.
- Critically respond to the three-part questions in the form of an essay. Devote equal attention to all questions.
- a) How is globalization gendered and why is gender an important analytical tool to understand processes of globalization?
- b) What are the challenges facing women workers in the globalization circuit and how are these challenges addressed through activist and/or feminist organizing?
- c) How can corporate responsibility (Code of Conduct) create better wages and safer workplace conditions?
- You are expected to demonstrate explicit understanding and engagement with the materials from Weeks 3 and 4: Hawkesworth, Dominguez et al, Duhigg & Barboza and Funari & De La Torre (Maquilapolis documentary). In other words, communicate your understanding of the questions and how you use the assigned materials to aid in your understanding.
- Please bear in mind that your analysis should lean heavily on the essays/articles assigned and not on the documentary. In other words, the documentary can serve as a supporting material to further showcase your understanding of issues within the context of feminism and globalization.
