Explore the remarkable diversity of gender identities and practices of sexuality across and within cultures. Engage with the latest anthropological research on gender, sexuality, culture, and biology. Describe the culturally constructed nature of gender and sexuality, and why the idea of cultural construction is essential to understanding contemporary expressions of gender and sexuality. In-depth case studies will include gender violence, emerging forms of non-binary gender expression, gender and health, and issues facing transgender youth. Through exploring gender and sexuality, we aim to better and more fully understand this most fundamental aspect of the human experience. NOTE: Credit cannot be counted for both GWS 3114 and ANTH 3114.
