ANT101 Cultural Anthropology
This course is designed to introduce students to the anthropological study of human culture. We will explore ways of trying to understand the world views and belief systems of a diverse array of human cultures. Some of the topics to be explored include family and kinship systems, religion and magic, language, economic and political systems, conflict and social control, cultural constructions of gender and race, and the effects of globalization. The course aims to foster in students cross-cultural understanding as our world becomes increasingly interconnected, as well as recognition of the fundamental similarities we all share as humans.
