This class explores anthropological theories of gender differences and inequalities in cross-cultural contexts. The course examines the role of kinship, reproduction, politics and economic systems in the shifting determinations of gender in various contexts.

In this course, the various ways that anthropology has theorized and understood questions of gender are explored and made relevant to contemporary societies.
