Berkley Center

Co-sponsored by the Anthropology Department and the Berkley Center, this lecture series featured well-known anthropologists of religion, gender, and feminist theory over the course of the 2009-2010 academic year. The talks were based on fieldwork conducted in a range of ethnographic settings including Africa, the Middle East, and the United States. The series was intended to bring together anthropological work on religion and more recent work in the discipline on gender, sexuality, and feminist theory to consider the complex relationship between religion and gender in the contemporary era.
