ANT 200 - Women, Gender(s) and Sexuality
An interdisciplinary and cross-cultural introduction to the perspectives and core concerns pertaining to gender, sexuality and women’s studies.

The primary goals of this course are to familiarize students with core theories and qualitative and quantitative methods of social science disciplines such as sociology and anthropology as applied in women’s and gender studies, both historical and contemporary.
