Course Title:
Introduction to Cultural Anthropology
Course Number:
A6163
Course Description:
Cultural anthropology examines the variety of ways humans exist in the world as cultural beings; the way they use symbols to interpret themselves and others; the way they organize political and economic systems; the way they think, imagine, feel, and communicate. Analyzing a number of case studies from around the globe, you will learn to think through the lens of "culture" as a way to interpret patterns of human life, sometimes surprisingly similar to, and other times vastly different from, each other. We will explore how anthropological thinking has contributed key concepts such as 'society,' 'politics,' 'nature,' 'communication,' etc. to an understanding of our contemporary world.
