Gender and Kinship

Graduate students who choose to pursue an area of strength in Gender and Kinship will examine how women, men, children, and kin groups encountered labor, law, religion, property, and other phenomena in ways that were socially constructed and conditioned and changed over time and across space.

Both gender history and kinship history extend beyond the study of femininity, masculinity, the household, and the family to enhance our understanding of politics and the economy, at both macro and micro levels.
