ANT 320 - Reading Culture (4 Cr.)
A good ethnography inspires laughter, tears and a deep sense of empathy for people walking in shoes different from our own—both literally and figuratively! In this course, we look at the past and present of ethnographic writing, focusing in particular on close readings of several excellent recent ethnographies. By exploring societies near and far through ethnography, students will develop insights into how anthropologists make sense of human lives and the global forces that shape them, including issues of status, power, gender, sexuality, modernization and migration. Prerequisites: Junior standing and one of the following courses: , , , or . Fall semester. Offered 2015-16 and alternate years. Frekko.
