Latin American Studies 301 - SEM: WOMEN & GENDER IN HISTORY

Topics course.: This seminar will introduce students to the history and study of women and gender in Latin American history and to the historian’s craft. We will read books and articles that will allow us to trace change over time from before the European conquest of the Americas to the recent past, the changing ways that Latin Americanist historians have approached women and gender history, and how these historical and historiographical dynamics played out in different regions of Latin America. Students will write micro histories based on primary research.
