ANTH 3390 - Pregnancy, Birthing and the Post-Partum

Effective Start Date: 10/10/2019
There’s no debate that human reproduction is a biological universal, but it’s also an intensely cultural phenomenon with widely disparate, & often contested, specific cultural routines, symbolic systems, ideas & practices whether focused on mothers, fathers, infants or communities or who is recognized as a birthing expert. Course examines variations in physiological & cultural processes globally & explores both the individual experiences & and systemic patterns associated with the phases of reproduction from pregnancy through to post-partum.

Credits: 3
