FALL 2021: SOAN 110-01 INTRODUCTION TO CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY
MWF @ 9:10 – 10:10am, Miller Center, Room 205

COURSE INTRO: Anthropology is a four-field discipline, but cultural anthropology is the study of lived human experience as it is represented in and by symbolic, material, and virtual culture. Anthropologists, attend closely to everyday relationships between individuals and their immediate communities. Yet, we also study culture in the context of globalization because few individuals or particular cultural formations are isolated (or ever have been!) from broader political, market, and technological shifts. We have some standard and evolving methodological tools to facilitate our research and involvements in . Thus, anthropologists also study the varied forms of structural power that marshal the world’s inhabitants—human and otherwise—into complex networks! Our pace for this class is moderate.
