SOAN 237 - Anthropology of the Global

FDR: SS4 Social Science - Group 4 Distribution
Credits: 3

This course focuses on how globalized political, economic and social institutions impact the lives of people and communities around the world. Students will learn to apply and evaluate a range of anthropological theories related to globalization, carefully considering the kinds of evidence and forms of reasoning they rely on to generate explanations for complex, social phenomena. Emphasizing discussion and group presentations, the course also prompts students to develop techniques to communicate ideas (their own, as well as others’) related to the analysis of globalization.
