ANTH 217: Cultural Anthropology

Credits 3

Anthropology is the study of human beings and non-human primates across the globe both today and as they existed deep into the far reaches of the past. The discipline is holistic, so it aims to understand human beings across time and space. The primary objective of this course is to introduce learners to the four primary subfields of anthropology: biological anthropology, cultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology, and archaeology. Learners will also gain an understanding of medical and applied anthropology. All of the subfields each grapple with different, and many times overlapping, issues regarding what it means to be human.
