- Description
- Curriculum
Module 4 addresses the long it has taken for women’s contribution to be duly recognized both to the war effort and to the overall functioning of the Military’s organization. It provides plenty of “food for thought”, together with the necessary tools so students can both elaborate and exercise further reflection on this matter.
The concepts of gender are discussed in Unit 1, whereas Unit 2 directs the students’ attention towards the problematics of gender integration in the Military. How gender bias has affected women’s participation in mission and operations is outlined in Units 3 and 4, while Unit 5 sets forth an overview on gender and war.
