**Project Title** : Global Perspectives on Gender

**License** : CC-BY

**Subject:** Anthropology

**Description:**  
Ideologies and practices of gender and sexuality are culturally shaped, historically changing, and globally situated. In this textbook, students will explore how gender and sexuality are embedded in and shaped by nations’ and regions’ particular histories and cultures. By focusing on fewer cultural examples, but going more in-depth, this textbook seeks to explore how gendered lives are situated within particular cultural, historical, political, and economic contexts.
