This course is an introduction to the theoretical perspectives and methodology of anthropology. Anthropology is the study of humankind. As an academic discipline, it incorporates a wide range of methodologies to understand what it means to be human – in the past, present, and future. In this course, we will be surveying the four major-subfields of anthropology: social (or cultural) anthropology, biological (or physical) anthropology, archaeology, and linguistics.
Our emphasis will be on the holistic nature of anthropology and anthropological methodology. What are the different analytical perspectives used by anthropologists to understand humankind? How do anthropologists know what they say they know? How is anthropology especially relevant today? In this class, it is more important to understand the thinking behind the conclusions rather than memorizing the conclusions themselves.
