Cultural anthropology 15-AK-ANZ-11
The course will introduce the student to anthropology as a comparative study of culture, society, and human difference. Its aim is to force students to question the universality of cultural categories, and to consider the many ways in which people’s lives are shaped by historical, cultural and social forces and images. The course will introduce the student to the history of the discipline and its future challenges; and to primary domains of social and cultural anthropology, such as social organization (including kinship and gender); power and political violence; belief, religion and cosmology; colonialism and development; economic and social exchange; capitalist inequalities and global climate crisis.
