Third-wave feminism has introduced a dynamism to the study of gender and sexuality in archaeology that situates gender as a relational category intersecting with aspects of identity such as race, ethnicity, status and class. In this seminar, we explore gender, sexuality, social organization and identity in earlier societies that were filled with a diversity of peoples. We examine geographically and historically diverse cases that range from prehistoric Europe to twentieth-century San Francisco through archaeological investigations rooted in space, material culture, and daily practice.
