Introduction to cultural anthropology, which seeks to understand the variety of ways that humans organize their experience and live in the world, including different configurations of kinship, sex, gender, ethnicity, race, religion, politics, and economics. This includes surveying different cultural groups and thinking about why they vary and what they have in common. The course also explores how anthropologists frame their inquiries, with special attention to globalization, and how we better understand our own lives, values, behavior, and worldview through studying other cultures. Effective Fall 2020, this course fulfills a single unit in each of the following BU Hub areas: Global Citizenship and Intercultural Literacy, Social Inquiry I, Research and Information Literacy.
