ANT 395 - Anthropologists in the Global Village
3 Credits
This course employs a multidisciplinary view of the political,
economic, and cultural causes behind the global conflicts that
capture today’s head-lines. Anthropological expertise (a
cross-cultural view based on solid field studies) is combined with
that of history, political science, and economics to illuminate key
issues of international importance. Because it is an issues-based
course, students are expected to be able to critically assess
issues and to reach warranted conclusions. While the specific
issues to be addressed each semester will change according to
global events, a representative sample would include the culture of
capitalism, population control, poverty and hunger, environment and
consumption, ethnicity, resistance and rebellion, terrorism, and
religious fundamentalism.
Prerequisite: nine social and behavioral science hours including
ANT 111 or 112.
When Offered: Irregular
Catalog Year: 2008-2009
