ANTH 1501Global Social Science: An Introduction to Anthropology3

(3) This Global Theme course uses the methods and insights of the social and natural sciences to explore the central question of what it means to be a citizen of the world. Through the study of one or more different peoples, societies, or culture across the globe students will be able to better understand themselves as part of a complex, interconnected world. ANTH 1501 is a holistic exploration of humanity across time and space. It explores human evolution and our relationships with other primates; the connections between language and culture; cross-cultural similarities and differences; and the various ways culture and societies have changed from the distant past to the present. Throughout the course, students will gain an understanding of contemporary human variability, social and environmental problems, power and inequalities, and global connections.

ANTH 1511Local Social Science: Money, Health, and Happiness3

This Local Theme course uses the methods and insights of the social sciences to explore the central question of what it means to be a member of a "local" community. Through the study of the experiences of different peoples, cultures, and communities in our city, our region, or our nation students will be able to better understand the complexity and diversity of the society in which we live. ANTH 1511 takes a critical and ethical look at the interconnections between culture, money, work, health, and well- being, with particular attention to inequities and opportunities for improvement. Students engage with real-world problems and issues around these topics and asks them to discuss potential solutions.

Corequisite(s): One prior linguistics or cultural anthropology course. Cross-listed Course(s): ANTH 5620. Can you think without language? Can you talk without thinking? This course delves into these questions, combining linguistics, psychology, anthropology, and digital studies. Students begin with an investigation of semiotic relativity, or how language shapes human cognition, debating the differences between human and non-human communication and cognition, including animal communication and AI. Students then investigate the effects of language in particular on thought—including specific syntactic and semantic forms. Students also examine discursive relativity, or the relationship between cognition and language in use, investigating verbal art, pragmatics and political speech, and changes in writing forms—including literacy, the internet, and interactions with AI. Scholars debate the degree to which these technological developments change, and have changed, thought patterns. Students will investigate these debates and write a final research paper.
