Course Description:
Junior Seminar in Cultural Anthropology Anthropological thought has changed over time and paradigms have shifted. In this seminar, students will examine some of those approaches that have inspired contemporary anthropology. Focusing on anthropology from late 1900s and early 2000s, this seminar will consider such questions as: How do anthropologists understand "truth"? What value has come from a shift away from universal law and towards a focus on meaning? What does it mean to "understand" the social lives of others? And how have these questions informed new and emerging paradigms in anthropological thought. |
