A Compassionate Approach to Gender and Development: From Local Stories to Global Visions helps students consider a variety of issues related to gender and development within a social justice framework grounded in compassion.


Throughout the text, students learn about historical legacies and systems of oppression based on gender, class, race, and national identity within a global context. The book analyzes the economic relationship between patriarchy and capital accumulation and the ways in which these two economic systems have perpetuated oppression of women and other marginalized groups domestically and globally. It describes the ways in which the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the economic inequalities between men and women in the workplace and in the household. Students are encouraged to develop respect, empathy, and compassion for difference in a global context, as well as the ability to advocate and be an agent of change for global justice and gender equity.
