Description:

This course explores issues of sex, gender, and power for women and men in our society and in selected cultures of Africa, the Middle East, Latin America, and the Pacific. Issues to be explored include: the cultural construction of deviance, women's and men's freedom to be sexual, reproductive rights, divorce and marriage, homosexuality, ritualized genital mutilation, the relationship between sexuality and social roles. By creating "maps" of the sex/gender systems of some exotically different societies, the course encourages a reflexive analysis of our own. 1.00 units, Lecture
