Gender and Culture
SCS 695 (Offering: 2003)

Description

Postgraduate Course
Gendered ways of thinking and acting, and commonly held ideas about the nature of gender, vary from culture to culture. This course looks at gender as a cultural construct expressed in a variety of cultural forms such as ways of knowing, spiritual beliefs and modes of communication. This anthropological approach examines gender in different cultures, illustrating the variety of ways of expressing gender, and that gender constructions are as much, if not more, cultural than biological. This cross-cultural approach also allows examination of complex intersections of gender with class, race and ethnicity

Usual Semester of offer: Semester 2
