I'm an anthropologist at Lawrence University in Appleton, WI. I generally do
research on gender and fertility in Africa, and I've done some systematic
cross-cultural work on women, agriculture and the world-system. In a few weeks
I'll be teaching (for the first time) a senior seminar in the anthropology
department which I've called "Women at the Margins." I've conceptualized this
course as a world-system theory approach to understanding the
positions of poor and/or marginalized women throughout the world, but
especially in developing countries and peripheral regions of developed
countries. I am about to order books and plan the syllabus -- but as a recent
subscriber to this list, I realize that a lot of you probably know a lot more
about this topic than I do. I would be inspired and grateful for any
suggestions of books and articles that would interest bright advanced
undergrads. I'll return the favor by sending CC-D a copy of my completed
syllabus for the archive.
With thanks,
