ANTH 212 - The Ethnographer’s World

(3.00)

An overview of the ways in which anthropologists have studied and written about distinct cultural systems in numerous world regions. Using ethnographic case studies, the course explores how diverse cultural groups confront such issues as gender roles, political organization, economic strategies and colonialists. Particularly attentive to the problems of conducting ethnographic research in a changing world characterized by transnational ties, the course is meant for those students interested in global issues and in ethno-graphic writing. Prospective anthropology majors are particularly encouraged.
