ANTH 216 - Men, Masculinities, and Power

Explores discourses and practices of diverse masculinities across cultures, with particular attention to relationships between gender and power. Students engage with anthropological works that critically examine how myth and ideology are mobilized in different global contexts - reinforcing gendered hierarchies in some settings, while challenging gender discrimination in others. Drawing on ethnographic studies of the complex range of cis and trans men’s experiences across race, class, sexuality, age, religion, ability and other intersections, students develop theoretical and methodological skills to think about power and gender in more rigorous ways.
