In this course, students will learn perspectives
and lenses that socio-cultural anthropologists use to understand human differences, concepts
that help us make sense of human social relations, and the
scientific methodologies used by socio-cultural anthropologists use to investigate different sorts of human
sociality.
Of equal importance, students will learn that understanding other people require awareness of our own social positions that inform the way we see others. As such, students are expected to see themselves as part of this human menagerie and develop critical awareness of their own beliefs and practices with the understanding that anyone’s beliefs and practices are historically formed and shaped, and not universally known and understood.
