questions and issues regarding gender to contemporary
discussions and discourses on femininities and
masculinities in the Middle East. Core topics include the

| GEN 542 Gendered Memories of War and Political Violence |
3 Credits |
|
20th century has been ''a century of wars, global and
local, hot and cold'' (Catherine Lutz).
The course explores the different ways in
which war and political violence are remembered
through a gender lens. Central questions include: what
are the gendered effects of war, political
violence, and militarization? How have wars, genocide and
other forms of political violence been narrated
and represented? How do women remember and narrate
gendered violence in war? How are post-conflict
processes and transitional justice gendered? What is
the relationship between testimony, storytelling, and
healing? How is the relationship between
the ''personal'' and the ''public/national'' reconstructed
in popular culture, film, literature, and
(auto)biographical texts dealing with war, genocide,
and other forms of political violence? How are
wars memorialized and gendered through monuments,
museums, and other memory sites? Besides others,
case studies on Hungary, Turkey, Germany, Rwanda,
former Yugoslavia, and Argentina will be used to
elaborate the key concepts and debates
in the emerging literature on gender,
memory, and war.

| GEN 585 Migrations and the Family |
3 Credits |
|
This course addresses how human mobility across borders
and state policies of immigration control, shape, and change
intimate relations and family formations. In other words, it
asks how states make and unmake families through their
migration policies. It accordingly focuses on the
institution of marriage and processes of reproduction
(including having and caring for children), and questions
who 'deserves' to have a ‘right to family’ by examining
different country-specific cases of family reunification and
family separation. Issues to be discussed include:
governance of migrant reproduction, dynamics of mixed-
immigration-status families, challenges faced by
transnational families and their shifting care regimes, the
place of different kinds of children (left-behind,
unaccompanied and adoptee) in migration policy-making.
In tackling all these issues, the course aims to provide an
understanding of how migration and related state
responses disrupt, reinforce or rearrange gendered norms
of family-making.
