DESCRIPTION
This course will explore and analyze the intersectionality between gender, socio-economic discrimination, and sustainable development. There will be a special emphasis on the Latin American region and in particular the case study of Costa Rica. The local and regional cases studies will be put in their global, historical and present-day contexts.

Major challenges, advances, and the overall unfolding of sustainability with the key axis of equality will lead the discussion.
