ANT 450 - Borders of Self, Life, and Culture
3 Credits
This course is about our segmented world: cultural, physical,
public, private, personal, and imaginary borders, the people who
cross them, and the ways we represent them in thought, media, and
behavior today. They are explored by drawing on fundamentals of
ethnographic study, on literature and cinema from the social
sciences, history, and the humanities, and on firsthand accounts
from class participants. Expected outcomes include increased
self-awareness and a refined sense of social responsibility shared
with the human community and other life-forms on the planet.
Students from across the disciplines are encouraged to attend.
Prerequisite: nine social and behavioral science hours; junior
standing or higher.
When Offered: Fall
Catalog Year: 2008-2009
