aNthRoPology aNd soCIology 103: Introductory anthropology
4.00 Credits
Rhodes College
Fall, Spring. Credits: 4. Degree Requirements: Social Science, F9. Anthropology, in the largest sense of the discipline, is the study of what it is to be human. In attempting to understand the diversity of thought and behavior that is characteristic of humans, we better understand ourselves, our potentials and our limitations. Further, this process of listening to and learning from others allows us to grant dignity and respect to those that we might otherwise naively dismiss as "primitives". This course covers the basic data, concepts, and theories of cultural anthropology placing emphasis on the foundations of human society, social organization, culture, and symbol systems. No prerequisite. Not open to seniors.

In addition to introducing students to the field of sociology, the course aims to cultivate self-understanding and critical insight into the conditions of contemporary existence, including social stratification by race, social class, and gender.
