ANTH 210 - Cultural Anthropology
In this course we will learn about the social organization of various groups throughout the world and the relationship between their social, political, and economic practices. A central goal of the course is to provide students with an understanding of the basic tenets and debates of contemporary cultural anthropology, as well as a critical and informed knowledge of the concept of “culture.” Topics covered include fieldwork, cultural relativism, the legacies of colonialism, race, ethnicity, marriage, religion, gender, sexuality, food, and transnational connections and relationships. The examples covered in this class will draw from peoples and cultures around the world including Egypt, Nigeria, Mali, Papua New Guinea, Tibet, India, Mexico, Brazil, and the United States.
