CENTRE FOR CONFLICT AND GENDER STUDIES (CCGS)

 

GUIDELINE FOR POST GRADUATE DIPLOMA (PGD)/ MASTERS (M.Sc.) IN PEACE AND CONFLICT STUDIES, AND POST GRADUATE DIPLOMA (PGD), MASTERS (M.Sc. & Ph.D.) IN GENDER AND DEVELOPMENT STUDIES.

 

 

January, 2020 Edition

History 

The Centre for Conflict and Gender Studies in the University of Port Harcourt was originally two separate Centres---Centre for Ethnic and Conflict Studies (CENTECS) and Patience Jonathan Centre for Gender and Women Development Studies (PJC-WDS).  The original mandates for both, which border on research, teaching and community service, are now being pursued as one centre since their official merger by the university authority. This is a bold initiative, to expand and enhance services in the areas of Conflict and Gender Studies. The centre conducts research that provides evidence-based information towards addressing these issues.  It has potential to be a leading institution in this subfield in Africa. The centre is poised to make relevant contributions via teaching, research and community service, to addressing development challenges in a developing economy where many citizens suffer severe threats posed by conflict, poverty, illiteracy, violence, human trafficking, gender and inequality.

 

Philosophy

A commitment to intellectual and professional excellence.

 

 

Vision

The Centre for Conflict and Gender Studies seeks to be best in Africa when it comes to Peace, Conflict and Gender research, teaching, training and community service. The strength of CCGS lies in the multi- disciplinary composition of its staff and team of experts. Our ability to establish and sustain partnership enables us to multi task and carry out assignments in compliance with high professional standards and global best practice. CCGS is well positioned to be the leading hub of peace research and practice in Africa. 

 

 

Mission

To apply relevant skills and competences towards evidence-based policy research in conflict and gender studies.  The centre has a mission to expose male and female populations to the knowledge of social, cultural, economic and political hindrances to human development at the local, national and international levels, in order to attain peaceful coexistence for sustainable development.

 

Rationale/Justification

Disruption of peace and ensuing conflicts are common phenomena that affect every aspect of human society. The underlying causes of conflict are complex. In addition, they require specialized knowledge or skills. Consequences of violent conflict are undesirable since they destabilize human society.  Recent global upsurge and escalation of violent conflicts have made training programmes in the field of peace and conflict studies imperative. Stakeholders in conflict resolution and peace building require skills not only to mitigate the impact of conflicts but also to formulate effective strategies for resolving intractable conflicts and build peace. Formal training is required to achieve this objective.

 

 

2.0       Objectives of the Post Graduate Programme

The overall goal of the programme is to provide quality graduate level training and research to enable our students analyse conflicts so as to understand the underlying causes and to apply appropriate strategies to manage or resolve them. The specific objectives of the programme are: 

●          To deliver high-quality postgraduate programmes at Postgraduate Diploma Level

●          To give students theoretical, methodological and practical grounding in the emerging field of peace and conflict studies.

●          To conduct research on the causes of intrastate and international armed conflict; security, conflict resolution and post-conflict building with special reference to Africa.

●          To engage in practical projects that build capabilities for sustainable development, community engagement, governance and conflict transformation.                                                           2.

●          It will also give people with interest in the field, but whose initial training was not in peace and conflict studies, an opportunity to achieve their desired goal.

 

2.03     Eligibility

To be eligible for admission into the programme, candidates must possess a first degree (B.Sc. B.Ed., B.A.) from any recognized university.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

GDS 701.1    Introduction to Gender and Development Studies

This course aims to highlight the key role women have and can play in economic development. Basic Concept will be looked at like; Gender, Sex, Gender Roles, Gender Equity, Gender Equality and development. Individual, community lands, gender inequalities in development will also be looked at. An introductory survey of conceptual approaches to gender is followed by a treatment of central topics which include; the move from Women in Development (WID) to Gender and Development (WAD) as critical perspectives in development studies, conceptual approaches to households, men and masculinities in development, globalization and women’s employment, gender, state and governance, women’s movements and state-civil society relations, gender, conflict and post-conflict, and finally an appraisal of prospects for gender-aware planning and empowerment.

 

GDS 702.1 Genders, Culture and Society

Examination of the international emergence of the field of women’s studies; the achievements and limitations of scholarly work exploring oppression and discrimination based on sex and sex differences; the development of the category "gender" and its uses and abuses; and the relevance of changing understandings of the term "culture" for the study of women, gender, and/or sexuality across diverse historical periods, regions, nations, and societies. Exploration of a series of case studies. Particular attention devoted to the ways in which "gender" as practice, performance, and representation has differed for women and men according to race, class, and other divisions.

 

GDS 703.1    Male and Masculinity versus Female and Femininity

Masculinity (also called manhood or manliness) is a set of attributes, behaviours, and roles associated with boys and men. Although masculinity is socially constructed, some research indicates that some behaviour considered masculine is biologically influenced. "Femininities" and "masculinities" describe gender identities. They describe socio-cultural categories in everyday language; these terms are used differently in biology (see below). Because femininities and masculinities are gender identities, they are shaped by socio-cultural processes, not biology (and should not be essentialised). Femininities and masculinities are plural and dynamic; they change with culture and with individuals. Students will be taught the Single-factor as well as Multifactorial Approaches to Masculinity and Femininity. We will also look at different types of abuses as well as sexual harassment.

 

GDS 704.1   Gender and Women Studies

ThePGD in Gender and Women’s Studies provides a critical understanding of the current scholarship on the position and representation of gender in society. Drawing on insights and perspectives from a number of academic fields within the Humanities and Social Sciences, the course is both interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary, training students to research across a range of disciplines. Its students acquire a deep understanding of the cultural contexts in which theories of gender are produced, performed and negotiated and an ability to use primary source material as well as critical theories and scholarship. The course also hones the sort of analytical, written, and verbal communication skills that are highly valued and effective in a many different careers.

 

GDS 705.2  Gender, Education and Politics

The course examines feminist theories in relation to male and female participation in education and politics. Critical analysis of both legal and legislative demands of women in both developed and developing countries will be considered.

 

GDS 706.2 Gender Relations in Organisations

This course focuses on a study of different social relationships among and between males and females in different organisations. Such areas include job position/responsibility, promotions, violence and the like. This provides an opportunity to observe and reflect on the already acquired knowledge.

 

GDS 707.2        Gender, Science and Technology

This course’s topic touches on central and controversial issues in our lives and society, namely sex and gender, and particularly interaction between sex and gender and medicine, science, and technology. The main theoretical lenses for the course will include feminist philosophy, critical gender studies, history and philosophy of science, and philosophy of technology. This course will build on the lectures in this year’s Centre for Values in Medicine, Science, and Technology series, “Sexing Science, Gendering Technology: Rethinking Sex and Gender in Science, Technology and Medicine.” Students will have opportunities to attend lectures and interact with experts in the field.

 

GDS 708.2  Women and Development

Women’s role expectations in traditional and modern periods are compared. Particularly, attention is given to role expectations of women in the globalizing world. Discussions include recent policies that focus on women development in the New Millennium. Responses from different developing countries, especially in Africa, are compared in order to identify possible obstacles and propose the way forward.

 

GDS 709.2 Genders and Law

The aim of the course is to analyse legal phenomena from a gender perspective. To achieve this aim, the course starts with a general overview of different gender theories, for example feminist theories, post-modern gender theory and Queer-theories. Starting from these theories particular fields of application of the law where gender has significant importance will be studied. With these theories as a basis field of application is chosen where gender have significant importance. Special attention is directed to issues about equality, affirmative action and discrimination and violence.

 

GDS 710.2   Introduction to Research Methods

Areas to be covered include an introduction to the principles of research in gender and women development studies, bearing in mind the multidisciplinary nature; design of research instrument; empirical studies design as well as the qualitative and quantitative methods of analysis, bearing in mind the different approaches for project writing.

Course Descriptions

GDS 801.1: Feminist Theories

The course explores information on contemporary feminist debate as presented Structuralism, Marxism and Socio-cultural studies, to mention a few. The main objective is to analyse unequal conditions of male and female population in society. It provides an opportunity to critical issues such as sexuality, values and identity. The Nigerian context of feminist theory is equally discussed.

 

GDS 803.1 Introduction to Gender and Development Studies

Gender is encountered in every aspect of our lives. It informs public debate, legislation, how much money we earn, who dies younger and our exposure to risk and sexual violence. The course examines contemporary gender relations in Nigerian society, in our everyday lives, the school, the workplace, and the home. To what extent can we explain these relations in terms of women's and men's choices and to what extent in terms of masculinities and femininities, laws and institutions, and the distribution of power and resources in Nigerian society? The ways that ethnicity, 'race' and class modify and give meaning to gender debates in an Nigerian and international context will also be a central concern.

 

GDS 804.2 Race and Culture in Africa

Topics should concentrate on contemporary issues in different parts of Africa to be able to compare and contrast different experiences of gender and development issues with local experiences such as anatomy and control, equality of educational opportunity, stratification and employment opportunity, gender and occupational choice, etc.

 

GDS 805.2 Genders, Peace and Conflict

This course focuses on the intersection between gender and peace and conflict research. It aims to develop students’ abilities to understand the complex role that gender plays in patterns of war and peace. Gender is defined as the “socially constructed roles, behaviours, activities, and attributes that a given society considers appropriate for men and women” The course will explore topics such as gendered differences in participation and suffering; sexual violence in armed conflict; the social and political variation associated with gender equality goals and outcomes; the challenges of peacekeeping; women’s participation in conflict resolution; and implications for peace building and transitional justice.

 

 

GDS 810.1    Gender Issues on Health

To realize gender equality in health care, sex and gender dimension needs to be integrated in all aspects of research and clinical practice. This course brings together experts from a multitude of disciplines including clinical, basic science, public health and policy and provides participants with resources that will assist them in developing and strengthening gender-equal clinical care and research programs. The course will focus on the critical health issues for women and men through the life cycle, challenges of integrating sex and gender from the health research, practice, and policy perspectives, as well as strategies to address these challenges.

GDS 807.2 Gender and Theories of Development

This course examines men and women's lives in less developed countries and the impact upon them as a result of development and incorporation into global, economic and political systems. The course begins with theoretical approaches to gender and development, development theory, and feminist critiques. Different perspectives of gender as an interdisciplinary concept and their applications in different fields are examined. Equally, the course examines critically both classical and contemporary theories of development in relation to gender in order to identify and discuss their implications for effective policy planning and implementation for achieving development in Nigeria.

 

GDS 808.2 Seminar on Gender and Globalization

The concept of globalization is examined. The course introduces gender issues in development, particularly with reference to developing areas where poverty, high illiteracy rate, unemployment, underemployment and early retirement appear to be common, yet the effort is to achieve partnership between and among nations. In addition, both feminist and queer theories are considered as issues of nationality, ethnicity, race and sexuality are discussed in the effort to identify a universal ground to effectively accommodate male and female population in the globalized world.

 

GDS 809.2 Seminar on Globalization and the Environment

This course exposes students to the various issues relating to the environment, especially environment protection and preservation. It will also examine the role of environmental groups and NGOs to ensure that big corporations reduce greenhouse emission significantly. The course shall highlight the difficulties and challenges faced by poor and developing countries in ensuring that advanced countries enforce Laws against environmental pollution due to greenhouse emission.

 

 

GDS 811.2    Research Methods on Gender Studies

Gender plays a major role in structuring societies. It is also an innovative concept that grasps sexual differentiation and the reproduction of inequalities between men and women in an increasingly numerous and varied number of fields. The development of a genuine interdisciplinary approach around these questions has contributed to the emergence of an impressive range of theories and methods. However, the plurality of institutional contexts in which gender is mobilized as well as its privileged but complex relationship with the different branches of feminist theorization and practice make it sometimes difficult to use. If, in theory, any situation or phenomenon is likely to be the subject of a gender analysis, the choice and establishment of a method is certainly an issue in itself. The aim of this course is to introduce students to research methods in gender studies. It teaches different ways of mobilizing the concept in order to produce a critical and emancipatory knowledge. It also examines the epistemological challenges of the research process in the context of gender studies. The aim is to equip students so that they can carry out their own reflections on a subject of their choice. The course also examines whether and how research methods involving gender lead to doing research in a "different" way.
