Gender, Culture, and Power

Course #: WGS 360

Description:
Feminist and other critical approaches in anthropology have challenged prevailing Western assumptions about the categories for woman and man. Such studies reveal that power infuses gender identities and gender relations in profound ways. This course provides an overview of anthropological studies of gender, cultural, and power, with special attention to the construction and contestation of gender in varied cultural contexts.
