Anthropology 219 - Gender,Space and Identity

Institution:

Dickinson College

Subject:

Description:

Feminist geographers have recently expanded the field of geographical analysis to include the study of ways we think about and act out gender and other differences in relationship to material and metaphorical space. Throughout history and across cultures, architectural and geographic spatial arrangements and ideas have helped produce and reinforce various gendered and other intersecting forms of social power. Rather than taking the social organization of space for granted, in this course we examine the centrality of social space to form of power, difference, and resistance. Women and colonized or marginalized peoples will be at the center of our explorations. This course is cross-listed as WOST 219. Offered every other year.
