ANTH 2240: Progress
3.00 Credits

An ideal of progress has motivated Westerners since the Enlightenment, and is confirmed by rapid technological innovation.

This course addresses the ideological roots of our notion of progress, the relation between technological and social progress, and what currently threatens our confidence in the inevitability of progress.
