Landsbygd, försörjning och genus

This course is for you that want to learn more about an overview of the food security and social security situation of rural livelihoods, partly drawing on gender analysis.



The course elaborates on the interrelations between rural and urban, farm and non-farm strategies in building household livelihoods. The focus is on low-income countries and marginal areas of production and livelihoods, particularly regions in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa that are affected by poverty.



The course addresses the interconnections between rural development, gender and technology, institutions, food security, social security and poverty. Students will learn how to describe and critically discuss, amongst others, dominant policies and programmes in rural development, people’s motivations and livelihood strategies and gender and development theory.

The Rurality, Livelihoods and Gender course runs from 31st August to 1st November, 2020. It is one of the core courses of the Master Program in Rural Development offered at the Department of Urban and Rural Development at SLU. This year, and due to the coronavirus situation and SLU’s covid19 policies, we have made the necessary arrangements to keep social distancing and some of the course’s lectures will be offered online. This is a course designed to synthesize and discuss several theoretical and analytical approaches to the intersections between rurality, livelihoods and gender. This will include familiarizing you with current research perspectives on local and global dynamics and the use of different case studies representing contexts from both the global South and Global North. The course leaders are Johanna Bergman Lodin and Cristián Alarcón based at the division of Rural Development at the Department of Urban and Rural Development of the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Uppsala. We are fully aware that we will face important challenges dealing with the Covid19 situation, but we are confident that working together and having good communication with you, we will be able to have a great course. Please see information below, to see the schedule for the course and the literature list. Take care and we look forward to meeting you shortly, Johanna and Cristian
