ANTH 545 - Gender in Cross-Cultural Perspective

A cross-cultural comparative inquiry into the way different non-Western cultures define femininity and masculinity. Taking the view that gender is a cultural construction, the course examines the relationships between gender ideas and such features of social systems as kinship and political hierarchy. Ethnographic fieldwork materials are explored in light of current gender theories.
