Gender & Feminist Archaeology

Catalog description

The study of gender in archaeology has existed for about thirty years, and feminist archaeology is even younger, but these approaches have had a major, if uneven, impact on how archaeology is now done. In this course we will look at the historical development of gender and feminist archaeologies, we will consider various case studies that use gendered and feminist approaches, potential future trends in these areas, and approaches inspired at least in part by gender and feminist studies. Prerequisite: ANTH 167 or equivalent; OR 200-level or above WGSS; OR instructor permission. Offered every other academic year.
