Students learn how people in different parts of the world obtain food, exchange goods, organize themselves, marry, raise children, gain power, worship, and engage in warfare. The class begins with the colonial history of anthropology and how the field, with its early ethnocentric models and unethical practices, contributed to the subtle destruction of "other" Indigenous peoples. The class emphasizes how anthropology can help address modern social, political, and environmental issues threatening the human body and fundamental human rights. The class challenges students to reflect critically on themselves and ask how they contribute to the health and well-being of their communities.
