Women in South Asian Religions: Gender Ideology and Practice in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam

Course #: WGS 357L

Description:
This course examines women in South Asian history through the intersections of women's lives with three major faith traditions of the subcontinent - Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam. Using historical, literary, and anthropological lenses the course will consider how various institutions of authority - patriarchy, religion, and the state - have shaped and reshaped gender ideology in South Asia, and how women, throughout South Asia's history, have, in turn, interpreted and negotiated their position in society.

Notes:
ASIAN 357L and WGS 357L and RELSTY 357L are the same course.
