Anthropology & Women's Studies
The Department of Anthropology
offers a two-year Master's degree program in which students concentrate
in a world area and a traditional subfield, such as archeology, cultural
anthropology, linguistic anthropology, or physical/biological anthropology.
Within the context of the department's focus, social inequality, gender
and culture and gender's intersection with ethnicity, race, class, and
sexuality are interests around which both faculty and students research
is encouraged. Women's Studies is compatible with Anthropology's program
in much of its substantive subject matter as well as in the fact that several
courses in the two areas count as electives in the other's program.
The following courses are cross-listed with Anthropology or approved for
Women's Studies credit:
-
ANTH / LING 512 Gender and Language
-
ANTH / WOST 772 Gender and Culture
For students in Cultural Anthropology, WOST 702, Issues and Methods in
Women's Studies Research, counts as a research methods course towards your
anthropology degree.
Other courses with substantial relevance for
anthropological approaches to gender, ethnographic research, and health
include the following. Depending on the student's area of interest, they
may be acceptable for credit toward the anthropology degree.
-
WOST 701 Feminist Theory
-
WOST 796C / SOCY 790 Race, Class, Gender, and Sexuality
Programs in both Anthropology and Women's Studie offer some
flexibility in course requirements, and you may be able to earn the graduate
certificate in Women's Studies with as little as one or two extra courses
You should consult the Graduate Director in Women's Studies (777-4009) and/or Anthropology to see how
you could earn a degree in both areas most efficiently.
For a complete list of graduate courses see the Graduate Bulletin for Women's Studies.
