ANTHR 7427 - Gender Theory

Spring. 4 credits.

Co-meets with ANTHR 4427.

K. March.

This seminar reads pivotal theoretical works in feminist anthropology critically. We will follow the development of anthropological theory with specific reference to sex, sexuality and gender, beginning with Margaret Mead and building toward the most recent efforts to theorize how gender constructs the sexed worlds of women and men around the world and how global changes are affecting those worlds.
