Description

Aims at gaining insights into the situation of gender among China's Han majority and its many ethnic minorities. Examines gender in various contexts such as politics, religion, economy, the arts, ethnicity, Westernisation and globalisation. Specific topics include ideology of gender relations, sexual division of labour, gender representation in theatre and visual arts, gendered roles in religious practices, marriage customs, and morality and sexuality. Students learn relevant cultural theory and its application to the study of gender in contemporary China. Study materials include relevant academic writings and multimedia sources.
