Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The concepts of both social democracy and feminism will be discussed in detail in the course of the thesis. By way of introduction, broad definitions for these concepts will be offered here.

The core of both social democracy and feminism, as they are to be used here, is a particular understanding of the notion of equality.

Graduate Student Research Papers
