ANTH 1470 - WOMEN'S WORK

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Using anthropological ethnographic research from around the world in societies as far flung as the United States and New Guinea, this course explores what women do and achieve in various cultural contexts that cover different kinship systems, various economic and exchange enterprises, family and kin networks, and women's religious roles. The central question of the course is, "What is work?" As part of our understanding of women's contributions, it examines and expands a range of what may constitute work and productivity, and whether these concepts are appropriate to use cross-culturally. To what extent do the binary gender system of power and the predominant economic world system determine both work and productivity?
