Gender and Sexuality
Social, cultural, and politicoeconomic dimensions of gender and sexuality – and their intersection – have been central to Anthropology now for almost half a century, including in relation to inequalities of race, class, nationality, religion, and a host of other factors. Informed by the incisive contributions of critical and queer theories as well as by a range of received feminist approaches, the study of gender and sexuality is central to the concerns and scholarship of faculty in the Department of Anthropology at Emory.
We bring these conceptual and empirical perspectives on gender and sexuality to bear on our fieldwork and ethnography as well as on our theorizations of domination and subordination, resilience and resistance, and formations of institutional and organizational control, including in the United States and across borders transnationally.
