This course focuses on the construction of gender in cross-cultural perspective. We will examine the meanings of masculinity and femininity in different societies and how women's and men's lives are shaped by constructions of gender. We begin the semester by exploring how societies create gender differences through body modification practices, and raise questions about the relationship between the categories of gender and sex. Next we survey cross-cultural differences in the organization of kinship, reproduction and labor and study how these differences affect the construction of gender cross-culturally. We conclude the course by considering the concept of gender equity and the efforts of the international women's movement to create gender equity. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Amer and Int'l Studies College Anthropology Department Course Attributes: MJ-INTL-Intl Compare- Non-West

This course will focus on the intersection of identity, politics, and culture from a qualitative perspective. Identity is a widely used term in academia that is rarely scrutinized. Its use ranges from far-reaching national identity and citizenship to personal issues of gender and belonging. Drawing from both historical and contemporary issues, students will examine the role of politics in the formation of identity and the influence different forms of identity play in the policy-making process. The course will draw on contemporary cases from Europe and the Americas. While the course will rely primarily from anthropological sources and theory, it will also utilize a multi-disciplinary framework to attempt to address the complex relationsip between culture, politics, and identity. Specific issues that will be addressed include symbols, ritual, memory, nationalism, race, ethnicity, food, space, gender, poverty, democracy, resistance, migration, and citizenship. The format of the course will be both lecture and discussion. Students should be ready to participate at every meeting. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Amer and Int'l Studies College Anthropology Department Course Attributes: GE-INTERNATIONAL ISSUES

This course is an introduction to ethnographic fieldwork, the main method of research in cultural anthropology. Fieldwork is fundamentally a hands-on activity, and thus constitutes a form of experiential learning. We will read about fieldwork, but we'll also learn about fieldwork by doing it. The course consists of a series of short field research assignments, and a short field research project that you present at the end of this course. This course is an elective for all Anthropology minors. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Fieldwork Amer and Int'l Studies College Anthropology Department

Borders," wrote Primo Levi "are where wars start." But borders are also sites of cultural exchange, where bridges across cultural differences may be built. Working with the community in residence at the International House, this course will consider how cultures are "bordered" and defined through language, thought, space, art and music, food, dress, etiquette, parent-child relations and patterns of courtship. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Amer and Int'l Studies College Anthropology Department

In this course, we will review key theories concerning the concepts of nationalism and ethnicity and examine how nationalism and ethnicity affect people's lives in places throughout the world. While these concepts have been studied by scholars in many disciplines, this course will focus on ethnographic approaches that emphasize how people in particular locations come to see themselves as belonging to nations and ethnic groups. Some of the central questions that we will address in this course are: How are culture, power and history involved in the construction of nations and ethnic groups What is the relationship between nationalism, ethnicity and the state How do nationalism and ethnicity relate to gender, race, and religious identity How has globalization changed national and ethnic identities and nationalist and ethnic politics 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Amer and Int'l Studies College Anthropology Department Course Attributes: GE-INTERNATIONAL ISSUES, MJ-INTL-Intl Compare- Non-West
