This course explores the relevance of gender to the study of global politics. We approach gender as a complex and contested social construction that intersects with other axes of social identity to influence the way that we experience and understand the world. We examine how gender shapes and is shaped by the discourses, structures, and institutions of global politics, including those of development, health, the economy, human rights, war, peace, and colonialism. The course is designed to impart skills in gender analysis and to develop student capacity for independent research, critical thinking, and ethical reflexivity.
POLS2603 is a course designed to develop your understanding of how and why gender matters in global politics. The course has four aims: 1) to build student understanding of the way that gender intersects with other axes of social location and identity to shape how we experience and understand global politics; 2) to increase student awareness of the relevance of gender and the contributions of feminist scholars to the fields of political science, international relations, peace and conflict studies, and international political economy; 3) to convey knowledge about a variety of theoretical and policy frameworks that are used in the analysis of gender; and 4) to build skills in research, analysis and written and spoken communication through assessment tasks. Students will leave the course with an enhanced understanding of how gender shapes and is shaped by global political structures, discourses, and institutions, including those of the economy, human rights, war, peace, and colonialism.
Throughout the course, we emphasise the importance of critical self-awareness and attempt to understand the way our views have been shaped by our identities and experiences. Diversity and respect for difference in all its forms are valued in this course.ﾠ
Please be aware that this course examines gendered structures of power and privilege. We will, at times, be discussing content that may be challenging for some students or have the potential to cause distress. If you feel that you are upset by any of the course content, please feel free to contact the course coordinator. Wherever possible, material likely to cause distress for some students will be preceded by a specific warning. Counselling services are available through UQ Student Services .

Task description
Participation in the tutorial programme is expected. Your participation should demonstrate your active engagement with readings and lecture material. These sessions will provide you with guidance in understanding the course reading, and help you to develop and critically reflect on your independent study.
Written work in place of tutorial participation
The course is designed with the assumption that students will actively attend and participate in tutorials. If you miss a tutorial you will need to explain this to your tutor. You may submit a reading report where tutorial participation has not been possible for you. For each missed tutorial, write a 500-word report on the required readings for the week that you have missed. In the first 200 words of this paper, you should describe the author's main argument; in the remaining 300 words, you should present your views about the author's argument, e.g. Do you find it convincing? Why or why not? What do you think the implications of the argument might be? Have you learnt anything from engaging with this argument?
Written work in place of tutorial participation must be submitted to your tutor via email. Papers should be submitted to your tutor no later than ONE WEEK after the tutorial you have missed. This is so that you remain up to date with the course reading. All papers must be received by your tutor one week after the missed tutorial. No written work in lieu of tutorial participation will be accepted after this deadline without a medical certificate or other evidence of misadventure.
NB: This task has been designed to be challenging, authentic and complex. Whilst students may use Al and/or MT technologies, successful completion of assessment in this course will require students to critically engage in specific contexts and tasks for which artificial intelligence will provide only limited support and guidance. A failure to reference generative Al or MT use may constitute student misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct. To pass this assessment, students will be required to demonstrate detailed comprehension of their written submission independent of Al and MT tools.
Submission guidelines
You may submit a reading report where tutorial participation has not been possible. Written work in place of tutorial participation must be submitted to your tutor via email. Papers should be submitted to your tutor no later than ONE WEEK after the tutorial you have missed.
Deferral or extension
You cannot defer or apply for an extension for this assessment.
Late submission
You will receive a mark of 0 if this assessment is submitted late.
All papers must be received by your tutor one week after the missed tutorial. No written work in lieu of tutorial participation will be accepted after this deadline without a medical certificate or other evidence of misadventure.

Task description
For this assessment task you will be required to write a 2500-3000 word essay. A list of essay questions is provided or you may devise your own question in consultation with your tutor or the course coordinator. You will be required to conduct your own research to answer this question drawing from required and recommended readings listed in the course readings for each week and other material that you find independently and that you consider to be relevant and reputable scholarly resources (take care to ensure the latter).
In addition to the submission of your essay you must also include a 300 word statement as an appendix to your essay outlining your research process and methods including your explicit explanations of how you have used AI and/or MT technologies (if you have used these), stating what applications you have used, and how you have critically engaged with the outputs that they have generated. If you have not used AI you will still need to submit this statement. In this case simply write your statement to explain how you have researched your answer to the essay question, explaining how you located sources, how you ascertained their significance for your research and any other points you feel are relevant to your research method. This is a hurdle requirement for this assessment. If you fail to include this statement you will forfeit all marks for this assessment task, and cannot receive a grade higher than 1 for this task.
Your essay must be submitted via the Turnitin link in the relevant folder of the assessment page on the course Blackboard site.
Your work will be marked on the quality of your research, the effort to utilise relevant concepts discussed in the course to frame your analytical approach and the content and logic of your argument. Structure and the quality of written expression will also be evaluated. More instruction on this assessment item will be provided in class. Please see the marking rubric attached below for a clear indication of how marks will be awarded.

Word Length Penalty
Unless otherwise indicated, in the case of written submissions with a specified word count, you are given a +10% leeway on the upper word limit. If your written submission is over this leeway limit, it will attract a 10 percentage point penalty. For example, if your essay is 1,500 words, you may write up to 1,650 before attracting a word count penalty. If your essay exceeds the upper word limit, it will attract a 10% word count penalty. Therefore, if your essay is worth 40 marks, you will lose 4 marks from your allotted grade. Unless specified, penalties only apply to exceeding the word length, not for failure to write a sufficient amount.
Students should note:
• The Author-date in-text referencing system will count toward the word length;
• References in the Footnote referencing system will not count toward the word length. If you are using footnotes, any content included in footnotes beyond the specific text reference will count towards the word length.
