Course summary
This program is designed to help students develop a multicultural understanding of the human experience and the analytical skills necessary for critically evaluating the diversity of human belief systems. Upon completion of the program, students should: understand the interrelationship of the subfields of anthropology (cultural, biological, linguistic and archaeological) as well as an understanding of the ways applied anthropology functions in each; be able to evaluate the assumptions, purposes and methods of anthropological fieldwork and research; grasp the centrality of culture in the human experience and be able to apply this understanding to a range of social problems such as class and stratification, ethnicity and nationalism and the unequal access to social resources that emerge from these systems; be able to distinguish individual, social and cultural frames of analysis through the use of social and anthropological theory; have developed a multicultural and cross-cultural perspective of the world, including an awareness of the factors contributing to diversity and inequality within and among nations.
