In the gender course the focus is on the relationship between Rama and Sita and the question of Sita’s life as a role model for modern women. For the introductory Cultural Anthropology course, students should be able to situate the Ramayana story among other great origin myths of the world and understand how its tradition lives on today and shapes artistic performance. Specific learning goals vary for each course. The goal is to introduce students to the great Indian epic Ramayana in its diversity, through readings as well as images, music, and dance and theatrical presentations. This project builds on the presentations of Ramya Ramnarayan, Allyn Miner, Manail Ahmed, and Sheetal Majithia on South Asian arts.
