INTRODUCTION TO ANTHROPOLOGY: An introduction to the five fields used by anthropologists to explore broadly the variety of human groups that have developed across the globe and throughout time. The five fields include cultural anthropology, biological anthropology, linguistic anthropology, anthropological archaeology, and applied anthropology. The course will prepare students to take a critical and holistic perspective on human societies across time and space. It will also foster an appreciation of cultural relativity, allowing students to understand other cultural practices and outlooks in their own terms as coherent and meaningful designs for living.
