ANTH 1000 - CONTEMPORARY UNITED STATES

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course explores different aspects of society in the United States using both anthropological and sociological perspectives to understand and appreciate 1) the sometimes nuanced and sometimes blatant disparities present in American society, and 2) the commonalities of persons and groups that nonetheless allow for the strong notion of "being" American. This necessitates some histories to reconsider, which provide insights into present-day conditions in the country. It also involves an understanding/clarification of the concepts of "culture," of society," and of "nation" when we examine the complexity of the United States.
