WGS 111 - Kinship, Marriage and Family

Upper Division

For more than a century anthropological research has focused on households, kinship relations, childhood and families across cultures and through time. The anthropological record shows us that concepts such as “marriage,” “childhood” and “family” have been understood in radically different ways, and this course provides students with a historical and theoretical perspective on the anthropological study of kinship as it relates to different issues connected to the state of marriage, family and childhood throughout the world.
