    Description
    This course explores how anthropologists study and compare human culture to understand the broad arc of human experience focusing on a set of central issues. Topics include how people around the world: make their living; organize themselves socially, politically and economically; communicate; relate to each other through family and kinship ties; develop belief systems; apply gender, racial and ethnic identity labels; have shaped and been shaped by social inequalities such as colonialism; and navigate cultural change and processes of globalization that affect us all. Ethnographic case studies will be utilized to highlight similarities and differences.
