University of Central Arkansas

Subject:

Description:

An elective in the anthropology minor core. In this course, we will examine some of the dominant methods, theories, and debates informing the discipline of cultural anthropology.? In addition to studying the content of anthropological analyses, we will also study the processes of conducting anthropological fieldwork and some of the practical applications of anthroplogical knowledge. Readings for the course have been chosen to provide you with a sampling of perspectives on culture and society, including cross-cultural, ethnographic, and life history angles at the culture-society-environment interrelationship. These three frameworks-the cross-cultural, the ethnographic, and the life history approach-will provide you with a springboard for exploring the role of culture in your own life and society. Learning formats for the course will include readings, lecture, film, discussion, and group exercises. Prerequisite: ANTH 1302. Fall.
