Tanzania: Anthropology of Gender Co-curricular International Experience

During the October 2017 reading week, a group of UTM students travelled to Tanzania with Professor Sarah Hillewaert as part of ANT335H5F - Anthropology of Gender. This trip was offered as a UTM Abroad Co-Curricular Experience via the UTM International Education Centre's UTM Abroad Program. 

Highlights of Trip

  • Swahili lessons (local language);
  • Travel to Kilimanjaro and Arusha and work alongside Femme International to learn how women are confronting gender inequality;
  • Immerse yourself in family homestays;
  • Visit the island of Zanzibar where you'll experience notions of gender, different from the Tanzanian mainland.
