This course provides a comprehensive exploration of the roles and responsibilities of Tongan women and men in the context of Tongan culture from the years 1800 to 2000. It delves into the historical, social, and cultural factors that shaped gender roles during this period and how they evolved in response to changing times. Through a combination of historical analysis, cultural studies, and anthropological perspectives, students will gain a deep understanding of the contributions and experiences of Tongan women and men over the course of two centuries.
This course provides students with a deep appreciation of Tongan culture's richness and complexity while encouraging critical thinking about the evolving roles and responsibilities of Tongan women and men in the context of their unique historical journey from 1800 to 2000.
