ANTH 34382 - Gender and Societies

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Anthropology

Description:

A lecture and discussion course which investigates basic anthropological propositions about human biological similarities and differences, varied physical environments and human subsistence modes in relation to division of labor, symbolic systems, socio-culturally constructed narratives of gender, and the articulation of gender roles. We will focus on gender issues in traditional economies (foragers, horticulturalists, pastoralists, and agriculturalists) with attention to enculturation and socialization processes, kinship, marriage, residence patterns, along with issues of power and authority and male-female relations. The main method of study will be case materials drawn from different societies and culture areas.
