Gender and Culture: Intersectionality in Anthropological Analysis

This exam investigates the intersection of gender and culture, emphasizing how cultural practices shape gender roles and vice versa. The concept of intersectionality will be integral to understanding these dynamics.

The examination of gender within cultural contexts is essential for a holistic view of society and contributes to critical discussions surrounding power, identity, and social justice within anthropology.

Candidates will articulate their understanding of how cultural factors influence gender identity and roles, while also critiquing anthropological theories that address these issues. This assessment will include discussions of diverse cultural practices.

Conversations will engage students by highlighting the importance of context when analyzing gender, encouraging reflexivity about their biases in cultural interpretation.
