This course is a General Education, "Knowledge Area: Social and Behavioral Sciences (S)" course. It is also a required course for the upcoming Anthropology minor and counts as a Sociology elective.
Are you interested in exploring ‘foreign’ cultures and learning about the diversity of the human experience around the globe? Cultural Anthropology is concerned with the cross-cultural analysis of similarities and differences in social phenomena such as marriage practices, family structure, gender relations, economic strategies, and religious beliefs. This course introduces the key concepts of the discipline through lectures, films, and class discussions of cultures from the Americas, Africa, Europe, Polynesia, and Asia. Homework assignments and class discussions are intended to foster multicultural understanding as well as encourage self-reflection and critical analyses of our own world views and cultural beliefs.
