An anthropological approach to the tacitly
accepted notions of place and space. Theoretical
consideration of experience, meaning, and behavior
in relation to our material surroundings stresses
the social production of space. Key topics include
wilderness, pathways, home, cities, buildings,
monuments, and movement. Students are encouraged
to reflect on their own background in
consideration of these themes. The course provides
conceptual, bibliographic, and methodological
structure for students to imagine, design, and
carry out individual research projects.
