Overview
<p>What do bodies have to do with politics and power? In East and Southeast Asia, quite a lot. This course explores how the bodies of children, women, and families become central to governance, resistance, and social change. </p><p>This course examines how the body has been a central site of power in various Asian societies. You’ll explore how ideas about gender, sexuality, race, disability, and the nation are imposed on the body, and how these ideas are challenged and redefined. <br><br>The focus is on East and Southeast Asia, with examples from South Korea, Japan, China, Vietnam, and Thailand. Topics include military prostitution, transnational adoption, population policies, LGBTQ+ activism, popular culture and more. <br><br>You’ll draw on diverse fields, from gender studies, queer theory, and critical disability studies to anthropology, history, and sociology, to understand how power operates through bodies in everyday life, policy, and across borders. </p>
