HIST/WMNS/ETHN 459/859: WOMEN AND GENDER IN AFRICAN SOCIETIES

This course explores the complexity and the nuances of the term gender. Using several case studies, this course situates examples of gender theory within an African historical context. Often assumed to connote women, this course further illustrates how as an MSU colleague stated, “men have gender too!”
