A study of anthropological interpretations of social and cultural systems through the ethnographic analysis of single societies. The course focuses on our changing understandings of beliefs, meanings, values and social relationships through accounts of selected African, Asian and Middle Eastern communities. Students will learn how anthropologists use theoretical perspectives to understand cultures and societies and how attempts at such understandings have changed anthropological interpretations.
Unless preregistered students attend the first class meeting or communicate directly with the instructor prior to the first class, they will be dropped from the class list. NOTE: Students must still submit a completed DROP/ADD form to the Registrar's Office.
