    Description
    ANTHR 102H explores the diversity of contemporary human cultures, including indigenous populations from around the world as well as the rich cultural tapestry of our own society. This course examines how people from different cultures acquire food and resources (subsistence patterns); what they find meaningful; how they organize themselvessocially,politicallyandeconomically; the variety of patterns of marriage, kinship, and family structures; how they express themselves creatively (expressive culture);howgender,ethnic,andagedistinctions are expressed in different cultural settings; and how populations have been shaped by colonialism and globalization. Ethnographic case studies highlight the differences and similarities that we find in the human condition. The honors course presents students with the opportunity to complete an original, individual research project or paper and present the findings to the class.
