<![CDATA[The research examines if an extensive one-semester-long gender course for the International Relations undergraduate students could shift their perspectives on patriarchal values within family structures. Patriarchal value is indeed deeply rooted in the society where it manifests in how men and women perceive their roles within the smallest units, like family, and wider society. We employed qualitative research with structured interviews and focus group discussions. We interviewed 57 enrolled students before they completed the course. Google Forms, which contained open-ended questions, were also distributed to all respondents. We also conducted FGD to gain deeper insights to dig their perception regarding patriarchy values. After collecting primary data, we also conducted desk research by analyzing certain journals, books, and reports related to patriarchal shifting within family settings. Our finding shows that there is an awareness raising to gender division perception among students. After participating in the gender class, students' views on gender roles have changed, suggesting that extensive exposure to gender education can help shift perceptions and raise awareness of gender among students]]>
