Gender seems simple. There are men, and there are women, right? Genetically, females have two X chromosomes, while males have one X and one Y chromosome, right? Wrong! That is just a simplified version of what can happen. Take this class and learn more!This is an introductory Cultural Anthropology course focusing on Gender. Here's what you will learn:In Unit 1, you will learn about:The field of Anthropology
How to understand other cultures
Why gender is an important topicIn Unit 2, you will learn about:The cultural construction of gender

These are NOT Powerpoint lectures--these are narrated slideshows made up mostly of images to complement the lecture, and there is very little text on the screen. Lectures are followed by an article to read, a video to watch, and a short activity to do, to help you understand the concepts further. The activities don't need to be turned in, they are just to help you explore the course content. At the end of each unit, there is an assignment using real data, involving case studies, ethnographic data from Anthropological research, or data of your own. The assignments need to be turned in. Then there is a short quiz. At the end of the course, there is a final assignment where you can go out "in the field" and be like an Anthropologist!
