Fall 2021 - Gender Studies
231 Genders and Sexualities in a Global Perspective
Course Description: This is a feminist anthropological approach to the study of gender and sexuality. We will read some text that take a cross-disciplinary approach within the social sciences; however, this is not a general survey course. Our approach to reading emphasizes comprehension, analysis and critique, in that order. The course pace is slow - moderate.
The course has three aims/trajectories. First, it provides a historiography of studying social difference within anthropology. Anthropologists acknowledge the changing nature of culture, society, and nation. Some material will be dated. Some is not. We are looking at how theory, debates and analyses around gender and sexuality have developed/is changing over time in the discipline and within different socio-cultural settings. The second aim picks up from there. In addition to textbooks, we will read ethnographic research article and ethnographic texts that provide historical and contemporaneous descriptions of gender identity and sexual expressions in different socio-cultural settings. Third, material from popular sources will give us respite from the academic voice.

Gender as it has been socially, culturally, and, historically constituted in different times and, places. Theoretical developments in the, anthropology of gender. Cross-cultural exploration, using examples from a wide range of societies,, past and present. The relationship between, cultural definitions of gender and the social, experience of women, men, and alternative gender, roles, such as the Native American two-spirits,, the hijra of India, and global perspectives on, contemporary transgender experiences.

An exploration of ways gender informs the theory,, history, and creation of literature and art. The, role gender norms and constructs play in, establishing, reproducing, or contesting aesthetic, values, traditions, and hierarchies; feminist, perspectives on subjects such as the gaze, the, self-portrait, autobiography, and costume; gender, and its relationship to theories of beauty, taste,, and the body. Materials may be drawn from, literature, art, film, cultural studies, art, history, theatre, dance, and queer studies., Emphasis on an interdisciplinary topic to be, chosen by the professor. Recent topics have, included 20th-century experimentation in novels,, films, and photography; the Victorian crisis in, gender roles from the sensation heroine and, Pre-Raphaelitism to the dandy; gender and self as, artistic and theoretical constructs from the, Enlightenment to the present.

Latin America was born out of the complex, cataclysmic and oftentimes bloody encounter between Iberians (people from Spain and Portugal), Africans and the Indigenous people of the Americas. This course will explore the multiple meanings and impacts of European conquest as well as tracing the development of these colonial societies until their national independence in the early nineteenth century. I chose the readings to give a sense of the vast diversity of geographies and colonial experiences, but my aim is not to cover the particularities of every region or nascent country in the colonies. Rather, we will focus on several themes, including race relations between the Spanish, Indigenous and Africans, sexuality and gender on the frontier and in the city, and strategies of conquest and resistance.

In the 21st century, Latin America has seesawed between right-wing and left-wing governments. From Hugo Chávez’s 21st century socialism in Venezuela to Evo Morales' nationalization of oil and gas in Bolivia, from the resurrection of Nicaragua’s Daniel Ortega to Narcos in Mexico, from protests in Cuba to the Oaxaca rebellion in Mexico, from the ouster of leftist President Mario Castillo in Peru to the neo-fascist Bolsonarista attack on Lula’s government in Brazil, the continent appears more on the edge of social crisis than ever before. Recently, the left has been ascendant in Latin America with populists and socialists elected in Chile, Mexico, Honduras, Peru and Brazil. In the twentieth century, development models including populist industrialization, socialist nationalism, and neo-liberal modernization have all failed quite dramatically. In the past three decades, the super-rich have grown richer, while the super-poor have grown poorer and become a bigger percentage of the population. Meanwhile, rich and middle-class women seek plastic surgery and appetite suppressants to become frighteningly thin to conform to first world standards of beauty while their poor counterparts grow fatter on unhealthy food. Millions of Latin Americans have been forced from their homes to cities, to neighboring countries, to Europe and to the US. Throughout the semester we will seek a historical understanding of how Latin America has arrived at the edge of the abyss.
The history of modern Latin America, from independence at the beginning of the nineteenth century until the present, is one that continues to have a profound political, social and economic impact on the United States. This course will provide a context for the dizzying array of episodic news reports about the vast America that lies south of the Rio Grande. It is a survey in that we will focus on broad themes, but we will also be exploring, as much as possible, the particular experiences of individual countries and social classes. Themes that we will be investigating include nation-building, industrialization, modernization, development, indigenous rights, racism, revolution, “neo-colonial” or “dependent” relations with advanced industrialized countries, military rule, social movements and narco-trafficking.
We will begin and end the course with a discussion of more recent trends in Latin America, including the rise of neoliberalism and the concurrent re-emergence of social rebellion and populism from below.

"Asian American" is a catchall term that refers to, a variety of people whose ethnic and cultural, origins span a third of the globe. In this class,, we will examine some of the distinct populations, that make up this group, including those who trace, their origins to China, Japan, Continental India,, Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Hawaii,, and several other Pacific Islands. (Students may, focus their independent research project on, another group of their choice.) We will use, memoirs, literature, government documents,, history, film, and material culture to answer, these questions: Why did they immigrate to the, U.S.? What were their experiences after they, arrived? How were their experiences shaped by, global and internal politics, as well as their, cultural repertoires? What do their experiences, reveal about American history and contemporary, politics and views? Why have such diverse, populations been grouped under one label and, viewed as a single "race"?

This course introduces students to the wide variety of resources and analytical methods that historians and others engaged in historical inquiry use in their work. Throughout the semester students will acquaint themselves with the full range of bibliographical resources and will practice the art of historical interpretation, relying on different types of materials including—but not limited to—oral interviews, photographs, documentary film, maps, newspapers and periodicals, government records, manuscripts, art and architecture, and physical artifacts. Through in-class exercises and individual editing projects students will gain skills in library research, editing, writing, analysis of sources, and historical judgment. The course will also introduce students to basic historiographical trends to help them understand how different methodologies have been developed in response to particular historical contexts. Students will not only be asked to master the techniques and skills of historical inquiry, but also to critically analyze the ways in which different methods lead to specific forms of knowledge production—especially in regard to our thematic focus—alternative histories of Portland.

Introduction to public history as a field of study
and as a practice. Focus on public history
projects-varies by instructor's area of teaching
and research. The final project will be a

explore various forms of public history, including
community-engaged research, museum exhibits, audio
podcasts, videos, archival projects, etc.
Exploration of the ethics and problematics of
doing community-engaged research.
