Cultural anthropologists seek to understand the broad arc of human experience focusing on a set of central issues: how people around the world make their living (subsistence patterns); how they organize themselves socially, politically and eco- nomically; how they communicate; how they relate to each other through family and kinship ties; what they believe about the world (belief systems); how they express themselves creatively (expressive culture); how they make distinctions among themselves such as through applying gender, racial and ethnic identity labels; how they have shaped and been shaped by social inequalities such as colo- nialism; and how they navigate culture change and processes of globalization that affect us all. Ethnographic case studies highlight these similarities and differences, and introduce students to how anthropologists do their work, employ profession- al anthropological research ethics and apply their perspectives and skills to under- stand humans around the globe.Usually HeldMon 5:30pm–8:35pm, Mon Wed 11:10am–12:35pm, Mon Wed 9:35am–11:00am
