Section Information for Spring 2018
This course will examine on major theoretical strands of anthropology from the mid-twentieth century onward. We will also consider how anthropological theory and methods intersect with other fields and disciplines. Through readings and discussions, we will look at theoretical contributions of contemporary anthropologists and how they have situated their work within various orientations. We will pair more theoretical readings with ethnographic accounts from around the globe that further elucidate main concepts. Since this course satisfies the writing-intensive requirement, we will devote time to peer review and discussing main anthropological writing conventions.
