This course provides a space to engage with and discuss a range of feminist works grounded in the discipline of anthropology. It invites students to read, discuss, learn and think critically about key issues, ethnographies and theoretical perspectives that have shaped feminist anthropological perspectives up to date.
It is designed as a reading and discussion seminar based on intensive student engagement and interaction with the feminist anthropological scholarship and with each other. Following Mahmud (2021), this course follows feminist work in socio-cultural anthropology in four areas of particular relevance to feminist anthropological scholarship: 1) The anthropology of science and medicine 2) Political anthropology 3) Economic anthropology 4) Ethnography as writing and genre.
