GENDER, CULTURE AND SOCIETY |
3 UNITS |
| Lecture: |
3 hours |
|
| |
This course takes an inclusive
bio-cultural evolutionary perspective on gender, focusing on non-human
primate societies as well primitive (small scale) and modern (large
scale) human societies. Factors such as culture, ecological
conditions and historical circumstances, forces of stratification (e.g.
age, social class), socialization (e.g. rites of passage, conformity &
deviance) as well as the science (e.g. concepts, theories & methods) of
studying these topics will be addressed. Though course readings
will represent many disciplines, the foundation readings reflect the
perspectives of bio-cultural anthropology as well as sociology.
This emphasis addresses the fundamental assumption that while sex
differences are biological, gender encompasses the traits that
culture assigns and inculcates (with varying degrees of success) in
males and females.
Credit may be earned for only one of the following: ANTHR 7 or SOCIO 7.
