Week 4: Rural livelihoods and changing social relations: gender An understanding of social relations is important in the study of rural livelihoods. This week we explore how unequal power relations are produced, contested and reproduced through the interactions of class and other social relations, including relations of gender, age, caste and ethnicity. Questions to be considered include: How does gender affect rural livelihoods? In what ways does class interact with gender? How have different aspects of social relations been affected by ‘globalisation’? Key readings Carr, E.R.
