Introduction to Anthropology
|
|
|
What is it to be human? Anthropologists attempt to answer this question by learning as much as possible about human societies past and present, using holistic, comparative, field based, and evolutionary perspectives. Students will explore the questions, methods, and domains of anthropology. They will reflect on concepts of culture and evolutionary theory, human variation and primatology. They will examine archeological and ethnographic evidence and discuss political, economic, and social questions of equality, expansion, and globalization.

Anthropological Perspective

Human cultural evolution features both universal patterns and endless variety. This course introduces theories, methods, case studies and experiential applications from anthropology, including fieldwork design, data analysis and interpretive practices that may be used to discover cultural meanings through formal research tasks and informal observations. Contemporary issues in anthropology are contrasted with historical movements to illustrate the development of the field. Topics include the anthropology of the human body, cultural symmetry, mindfulness, mythical enchantment, folklore, and more.
