The world encompasses a liberating array of cross-cultural variation in how humans interpret sexual difference. ANT 401 explores the theoretical and substantive basis for contemporary thinking about gender from an anthropological perspective. Gender content is explored in several cultures representing all levels of sociocultural complexity. Additional topics include the history of the study of gender within anthropology and the impact of development on gender systems in the global South. A primary objective is for the student to reflect upon her/his own gendered self.
