On Campus
 
Many anthropologists today are concerned with social justice, new forms of cooperation, reciprocally beneficial knowledge formation, and cultural diversity. The Gender, Ecology, and Society Program draws on interdisciplinary perspectives that explore contemporary social relations in a historical and cross-cultural framework. The curriculum facilitates self-reflection on our own cultural presuppositions as a prerequisite for empathic engagement with the realities of other cultures. Students focus on practices of creative intervention by developing skills in intercultural communication, critical thinking, emancipatory research, and alliance building. The program promotes student development in areas of critical social analysis, social action, and diversity.

Global systems are understood through multiple frameworks that are sensitive to dynamics of power. What are some of the relationships between gender domination and the domination of nature? How can the study of race, class, gender, sexuality, and culture elucidate some of the constraints and possibilities of our age? What can we learn from the study of diverse movements internationally for social justice, sustainable ecology, and responsible development?

The curriculum facilitates self-reflection on our own cultural presuppositions as a prerequisite for empathic engagement with the realities of other cultures.
