Sex and Gender
Research under this theme, co-ordinated by Professor Maria Charles, will utilize diverse methodological approaches, including statistical, ethnographic, and comparative/historical. The relevant level of analysis may range from the micro (e.g., studies of gendered human interactions in families, neighborhoods, or workplaces) to the macro (e.g., studies of international trends in female labor force participation, family structures, or attitudes toward women and sexual minorities). Campus departments and programs with significant capacity in this area include Anthropology, Economics, Feminist Studies, Global and International Studies, Political Science, and Sociology.
