Dorothy Hodgson is a Professor of Anthropology at Rutgers University, the former Director of the Rutgers’ Institute for Research on Women and a past President of the Association for Feminist Anthropology. From 2005-2006, she held a Fellowship from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation. Hodgson will present “Criminalizing Culture: Human Rights, NGOs, and the Politics of Anti‐FGM Campaigns.” Kevin Tervala, an art and architectural historian currently pursuing a doctorate in African Studies at Harvard University, will serve as moderator for the discussion.
A week in advance, the presenter’s paper will be circulated through the Harvard African Studies Workshop listserv. It is assumed that everyone has read the paper before the workshop. After presentation and commentary, Workshop attendees are invited to engage in critique and discussion, under the moderation of the Workshop Chair.
