AN 325 - Political Anthropology

Institution:

Wagner College

Subject:

Description:

One unit. Political anthropology is fundamentally the study of power, the study of the evolution of human organization and social control. This course differs from traditional Political Science approaches in that it is primarily concerned with the connections that run from you, the individual, through society, and that link you up with the most important questions of our time on a global scale. We will consider how "personal" issues such as (though not limited to) disability, sexual orientation, and ethnicidentity become socially relevant issues, and as such, points of articulation for growing social movements and cultural change. The goal of the course is not only to provide grounding in important social theories and global current events, but also to encourage students to see the political in his or her daily life, and to be aware of ways in which change can be achieved. This course is being run as an Honors (H) course, and students will be expected to participate in seminar-style class discussions.
