We will also ask how situations of war and illegality can stress and even alter the conceptual boundaries of "the human." 4.000 Credit Hours 4.000 Lecture hours 0.000 Lab hours 0.000 Other hours Levels: Undergraduate, Post Baccalaureate Schedule Types: Lecture Undergraduate Colleges College Sociology and Anthropology Department
