Material Detail

Anthropology is the study of humanity. In this course, we will ask the question, “What does it mean to be human?” As anthropologists-in-training, we will learn to notice the patterns of shared existence. We seek big ideas in seemingly small situations.

In this class, we will focus on cultural anthropology. According to the anthropologist Ken Guest, “Culture is a system of knowledge, beliefs, patterns of behaviors, artifacts, and institutions that are created, learned, and shared by a group of people.” By studying culture, we will learn how people live together and make life meaningful.
