Cultural Anthropology: Our Diverse World introduces the central concepts, concerns, and research methods of cultural anthropology. This course takes a cross-cultural approach to diverse subject areas, including subsistence patterns, political organization, the family, social organization, economics, kinship, language, the arts, and religion. As Cultural Anthropology: Our Diverse World explores the various ways in which the human species has responded to the fundamental challenges of survival, students will gain a greater appreciation for the ways in which anthropologists work to study the cultural and biological aspects of humankind within the widest possible context, by employing a mix of theoretical perspectives and methodologies.
