Wow..time flies by fast. The academic year of 2019-2020 is underway and my Cultural Anthropology class has already taken their first fieldwork trip outside with me.
I am VERY EXCITED to start another academic year and it looks like my new Cultural Anthropology class has a wide variety of majors and students from the various years (Freshman, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors) . As always, I try to make this Cultural Anthropology class a bit different than the typical undergraduate Cultural Anthropology class by finding new ways to have the topics within our class to relate directly to the issues that today’s students are interested.
For example, here are the major course objectives for this class:
- To provide a comprehensive introduction to the discipline of Cultural Anthropology — its fundamental principles and key concepts.
- To encourage awareness of cultural and human diversity.
- To help all students make sense of our increasingly interconnected world and to find their particular place in it.
- To help students to find out how they can make a difference in our local and global communities.
