HIST 369 - Women in Latin American History This course assesses the continuities and changes in the lives of Latin American women through the lens of gender. We examine concepts that have structured Latin American beliefs about gender including honor and shame, and machismo and marianismo, and examine issues of gender relations, sexuality, and political involvement. How do beliefs about gender and gender roles relate to social structures including race, class and political structures, and how have these beliefs changed over time? By the end of the course, students should have a clearer understanding of how gender influences historical change and historical continuity in Latin America.
