ANTH 475 - Seminar in Anthropology and Multiculturalism

Next Offered: 2011-2012
Semester Offered: Second Semester
Credits (Range): 3
Attribute: 3 SS, CD, WR
Modern anthropology defines itself through the concept of culture, a methodology for its study, and theories explaining cultural phenomena. Multiculturalism articulates ostensibly similar concerns yet remains largely indifferent to anthropology. Through extensive readings in anthropology and multiculturalism, we will closely examine modern anthropological understandings of culture, multiculturalism’s goals and its limited appropriation of the culture concept, and the political and historical basis both for these developments and for the separate tracks of anthropology and multiculturalism.
