PARW 7510 - Cultures in Balance:Women at the Center

Institution:

California Institute of Integral Studies

Subject:

Description:

A body of knowledge is progressively developing about societies past and present where women are respected at the center of culture, and where women and men collaborate to create balanced, sustainable societies. These societies show markedly different social customs, artistic expressions, and religious beliefs and practices, when compared with cultures where women are disrespected and excluded from leadership roles. The underlying assumptions, biases, and expectations of researchers investigating the beliefs, rituals, and social structures of societies- especially those in the distant past-influence the interpretation of data, often with dramatically different results.
