ANTH 105 — Introduction to Cultural Anthropology
3 cr. This course explores the diverse ways in which people organize and give meaning to their existence and the social, political and economic contexts in which they do so. We examine how structures of power and social relations over time shape inequalities by studying anthropological methods and perspectives. Our goal is to understand two common components in anthropological inquiry: 1) the ways in which human beings are differentiated, via history, geography, and culture differentiates such as subsistence patterns, kin relations, and social stratification, and 2) what human beings share across those boundaries.
