Having taught gender and development myself, I would warn about using too large a brush here. My students have gone on to work (in the field, either as practitioners, or researchers, or both) on rape in refugee camps, child soldiers, the disarmament/demobilization of female ex-combatants, and sex-selective killing in genocides—among other things.
It doesn't get much more important or real-world than that.
(And yes John, I realize it was only meant as a casual aside. However, I'm damn proud of what some of them have gone on to do!)
Now back to your regularly-scheduled thread
