Course Description:
This course provides an anthropological lens into our individual, collective, and historical experiences of time. Through discussion and engagement with relevant literature, we will explore questions such as: how does culture shape our sense of time? What are the political, economic, and social implications of how time is structured in specific contexts? How are perceived differences in the experiencing of time used in understanding human diversity, and how have they been relevant to how anthropology constructs its “object” of study? As we tackle these questions, we will also take a reflective look at our own experiences of time in various aspects of our lives.
