ANTH 101H - Introduction to Cultural Anthropology- Honors

(3,0) 3 Credits

 
Anthropologists’ study human lives to make sense of a number of relationships: between the individual and society, structure and agency, and between ideas about the universal and the particular. This course will introduce honors students to the field of anthropology by focusing on essential topics in cultural anthropology such as religion, kinship, race and ethnicity, gender, language, subsistence strategies, economy, and political organization. Honors students will be expected to explore these fundamental anthropological concepts through the completion of a service-based project. They will be expected to use anthropological methods to collect qualitative and quantitative data in the field. Students will also be required to complete an interview and learn how to transcribe interviews anthropologically. Finally, students will be required to present a final peer-reviewed artifact with either an academic or applied focus based on their fieldwork. In this class, we explore how culture operates in our daily lives and gives rise to difference, grounds similarity, and changes throughout time and space.
