RIP. I remember some of his papers were required reading for two key seminars I took in undergrad and grad school. Both carried the same title at the time: “The Anthropology of Women.” An amazing writer and scholar. I’ll never forget the scholarly work I read in my undergrad class authored by him and Anita Hill herself. Groundbreaking stuff, not only for what was considered at the time a “niche topic” as people online say these days, but groundbreaking stuff when it comes to basic human rights nobody seems to think about anymore. I might add, in memory of this great scholar, that the term “niche topic” be stripped from everyone’s vocabulary. Your “niche topic” today might be a sign of your narrow-mindedness in history tomorrow.
