ANT 200 - Women, Gender(s) and Sexuality
An exploration of the social construction of gender and sexuality in a variety of cultural contexts, including accommodations of non-binary gender identities and sexual practices. We will study the concepts of gender ideology, gender identity, social identity, and the effects of other aspects of culture and social structures on the relative socioeconomic position of individuals. Special attention is given to traditional and contemporary gender identities in the United States, and the ways that gender inequality and discrimination are maintained through cultural practice. Students will use anthropological theories and methods to analyze gender and sexuality issues.
