ANTH 361 - Cross-Cultural Perspectives on Women

Examination of the diversity of women’s lives cross-culturally from an experiential and structural viewpoint. Emphasis on the interlocking dimensions of women’s experiences including nationality, ethnicity, class, sexual orientation, and religion. Drawing on examples from Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and ethnic populations within the U.S., course readings explore commonalities and differences in women’s social positions, cultural knowledges, life-cycle changes, and gender relationships.
