Anthropology

Description:

Through ethnographic readings, this course explores kinship, marriage, sex, and gender across diverse cultures.

It will also examine recent topics, such as sex tourism, mail order brides, transnational adoptions, same-sex sexualities, new reproductive technologies, surrogacy, transgenderism, and the commercialization of sexuality (in pornography, sex work, and sex trafficking). Themes of the course will be related to issues of globalization, power, religion, and recent human rights discourses. The course will foster a dialog of anthropology with theology.
