 historical, literary, and anthropological lenses the course will consider how various institutions of authority&#8212;patriarchy, religion, and the state&#8212;have shaped and continue to reshape gender in South Asia, and how women, in turn, resisted, interpreted, and
 negotiated their position in society. Women continue to be a sign of South Asia&#8217;s &#8220;backwardness&#8221;, but serve simultaneously as a symbolic upon which ideas of modernity are debated. Thus, how women are imagined is often at the core of how nationhood is defined

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:&quot;Georgia&quot;,serif;color:black">This course will bring together conceptual tools from postcolonial African literature and theory, clinical psychology, and feminist film studies. We
 will ask how diagnostic categories become gendered, and how women&#8217;s psychosexual development might be thought of in cross-and-trans-cultural terms. Specifically, by putting into dialogue media representations and scholarly analyses from two culture zones,
 the US and Africa, we will investigate the clinical issues surrounding trauma, spirit possession, hysteria, and body image disturbances as well as colonialism and its impact on African psychiatric discourse. Key questions we will address include: How does
 the practice of psychiatry in two different cultures both perpetuate and destabilize patriarchal narratives of the women&#8217;s psyche? And how might such interrogations in turn enable intersectional approaches to social policy and clinical practice? Our aim is
 to enable an interdisciplinary conversation about psychopathology in relationship to gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, diaspora, and postcoloniality.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Gender and racial equity are often central goals of urban planning. But what are gender and race? What happens when we start to measure and model these dimensions of identity? Conversely, what happens when we ignore gender and race in urban computation? This
 course introduces students to some of the leading scientists, theorists and practitioners who are working to challenge bias in AI and to use data and computation to work towards gender and racial equity in cities. Along the way, we will reflect on our own
 identities and learn critical concepts to navigate gender and race from fields such as Urban Planning, Women's &amp; Gender Studies, Critical Race Studies, and Computer Science.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:&quot;Georgia&quot;,serif;color:#212121"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
