ANTH 1710Introduction to Cultural Anthropology4
This course introduces students to the concept of culture, anthropological methods and theories, and the unity and diversity of the human species. Culture is the means by which human beings adapt to their environment, structure their societies, and give meaning to life. The course surveys the similarities and differences of the complex whole of human culture, including: subsistence strategies; economics; marriage, family and kinship; gender; political organization; inequality; religion; colonialism; and globalization. There is a focus on current issues and problems, and their relationship to societal and global matters. 4C/4/0/0

ANTH 1730Gender and Culture in Global Perspective3
This course examines how sex, gender, and sexuality are culturally constructed through social structures, and how these influence the biological distinctions of male, female, and intersex individuals. Through a comparative approach, we will survey gender roles, values, and relative rank in various socioeconomic levels, including hunter-gatherer, horticultural, pastoral, agricultural, and industrial. Other material to explore will include the intersection between gender, race, class, and sexuality; the origins and consequences of patriarchy; the impact of the global economy on gender identities and self-perceptions; gender, politics, and social change; and the status of women and men in different kinship systems and families, and the power that accrues to them. 3C/3/0/0
