Annotation
The aim of the course is to introduce students with current theoretical concepts in the study of gender and contemporary family in social anthropology. The course will be linked to the "traditionally" based course on
Kinship and Family. We will apply a critical understanding of the cultural, social, political and economic dimensions of gender. We will focus on the meaning of political and economic processes of identity, resources and productive / reproductive capabilities of women and men. We will also critically reflect the ways in which local policies (such as employment and family policies) and global processes affect gender roles and family power relations in different types of socio-cultural settings.
