Description:

3 credits By examining other cultures, we are challenged to think critically about the culture in which we live and the often unexamined beliefs and practices that are part of our everyday experience. In this course, we investigate a variety of cultures (including non-Western), and explore anthro-pological approaches to understand human society, with emphasis on social and cultural systems of meaning. In the course of our studies, we may consider such topics as symbolic communication; the concept of culture; systems of kinship; gender roles; belief systems; power and authority; and social change.
