Description
This course introduces undergraduate students to the discipline of Sociocultural Anthropology. Lectures will develop and explain sociocultural anthropology’s central questions and discoveries, concepts and innovations, methods and theories, placing each in their historical and political context. The course will give special attention to two distinctive, interrelated, and sometimes controversial features of the discipline within the social sciences: culture as a foundational concept for social analysis, and ethnography as a foundational research method and mode of social representation.
