This week's assignments (October 17-22):
Read Chapter 8 in your text and the following articles
Do Muslim Women Really Need Saving?
The Berdache Tradition
Where Fat is a Mark of Beauty
Discussion Question:
Two of the articles for this week (The Berdache Tradition and Do Muslim Women Really Need Saving?) discuss the religious underpinnings of gender roles? Are there religious reasons behind how our society defines gender and gender roles? Why do think American society only provides for two gender roles? Are there other explanations for the way we view gender and gender roles? Are those views changing? If so, why and what is contributing to that change?
The quiz for Chapter 8 is available on Moodle.
