With co-investigator Pieter P.

Professor O’Manique has taught a variety of courses, including Introduction to Gender & Women’s Studies, Feminist Research, Gender, Globalization & Resistance, Women, Gender & International Development, Women & Health, Sex, Gender & Science, Global Politics, and Local Politics in Global Perspective.
