ARGS 834 - Women in Asian Traditions3 credits
This course critically examines traditional definitions of gender and the ways women both enact and challenge such definitions in the present day in Asia, largely through the course consideration of contemporary ethnographic (field research) studies on women and religion. The course focuses on contemporary women’s everyday lives, as well as their involvement in social, political, and environmental movements that are gendered and engage traditional cultural values in new definitions of rights and ways of acting in society today. The world region of focus - South Asia, Southeast Asia, and/or East Asia - will vary by offering. Analysis of ethnographic film is part of the course of study. Same as WGST 363
