ANTH 110 Cultural Anthropology

This course provides an introduction to cultural anthropology: in particular, the concept of culture and how it interpenetrates various domains of organization and activitiy – such as adaptation, subsistence, economy, politics, and kinship – in a wide variety of societies and groups. Changing theoretical approaches, fieldwork, ethnography, cross-cultural analysis and comparisons, complex society, and local-regional-global perspectives will all be addressed. This course meets the cultures or social science general education requirement, but not both.
