[Anthropgrad] Writing Workshop—writing gender relations in ethnography.

[Kathryn Robinson]

*Writing Workshop—writing gender relations in ethnography.*

 Facilitators:
Dr Tamara Jacka (GRC )
Prof Kathryn Robinson (Anthropology)

What is involved in writing ethnographic analyses of gender relations? 
This two-part interactive workshop will introduce students to concepts 
and strategies for writing up field research from a gender relations 
perspective. How does this differ from writing about women/men or 
masculinity/femininity? How does gender shape power relations in social 
institutions such as workplaces, the family and the state? How does one 
write the intersections/interactions between gender, class and ethnicity?

 
The workshop will be held over two sessions.

*Session one- introduction to writing gender relations. Tuesday 16 
12-2.30 (incl lunch)

In this session, participants will come prepared to discuss with the 
group how they might address an aspect of their research from a gender 
relations perspective. There will be some readings pre-circulated.

 There will also be an exercise to begin a piece of writing focusing on 
the students own research material.

 

*Participants will compete 2-3000 words of this writing by the following 
Friday, for circulation to group members

****

*Session two- Writing gender relations- pitfalls and possibilities. Tues 
23 12-2.30 (incl lunch)

 
In this session, participants will discuss the circulated writing in 
small groups, and this will be the basis of a general session reflecting 
on strategies for writing gender analysis
