ANT 340 - Anthropological Theory


This course introduces students to some of the primary social theories and debates that inform anthropological analysis. Throughout the semester, students explore a range of theoretical topics such as history, agency, structure, social change, power, and the politics of representation. By reading both classic and contemporary works, students examine theoretical perspectives in terms of their explanatory power for understanding the social world and human behavior, the social and historical context in which they were produced, and as contributions to ongoing analysis and debate.

Prerequisite(s): None.

Credits: 3
