This course introduces the anthropological study of living people, or cultural anthropology, with particular focus on how people understand, act in, and transform their worlds. Students will also consider how anthropology can help us think about our own society and what it means to be human in different times and places.
Outcomes: Students will be able to demonstrate ways that central concepts of cultural anthropology help us understand cultural diversity; learn how to think critically about various cultures (including their own); and be aware of the ethical dimensions of research with living people.
