ANTHR-316 Feminist Ethnographies
In this course, we will critically read and analyze feminist anthropological scholarship. We will look at the following themes: the status of women across societies, agency and resistance, gender and emotion, technologies of the body and reproduction, and new feminist and post-modern ethnographies. We will be reading both key feminist ethnographic texts including classics such as "The Thrice Told Tale" and "The Managed Heart" as well as recent texts. We will also screen works by feminist filmmakers.
