ANT 200Intercultural Communication (Honors)3
Honors courses involve more in-depth study than non-honors courses and often involve exploratory learning, essay writing, collaborative activities, and individualized research. This course examines how human beings communicate, and often miscommunicate, interculturally. It considers the ways such communication occurs not only through speech but also through gestures, posture, dress, facial expressions, distancing, use of time, and spatial organization. It further concerns the nature of ethnography and the relationship between language and culture.

ANT 210Native Peoples of North America3
This course will examine theories regarding the origin of the native peoples of the United States, Canada, and Mexico (commonly called “Indians”) and compare and contrast the various cultural adaptations these populations have made to their changing social and physical environments from prehistoric times to the present. A final emphasis will focus on contemporary problems facing them and possible solutions to these problems.
COM 121 or COM 122 Semesters Offered: Every other Fall alternate with ANT 220
ANT 220Food and Culture3
Cooking food may have been the key step that led us to fully develop as humans. Since that time, humans have created different cultures with distinct ideas about what can and should be eaten; the proper ways to procure, prepare and consume food; and the meanings and functions of their food practices. This course will examine foodways within cultural groups and also explore historical and contemporary food-related issues concerning ethnic and regional identity, immigration, social change and globalization.

ANT 245Culture and Religion3

This interdisciplinary course examines human experience through the personal accounts of individuals living in different cultures and times. The course teaches how people construct and reaffirm their lives through personal narrative, mark transitions in the human life cycle with rites of passage, and use their own experiences as testimonials against oppression.
